Ledger Challenges 'LedgerAI' as Crypto Security Concerns Mount
Nov/27/2025
Ledger, the French hardware-wallet maker, has moved to block the U.S. trademark application for 'LEDGERAI', arguing the name treads too closely on its own branding, including 'Ledger Recover' and 'Ledger Protect'. The dispute arrives as the crypto sector grapples with ballooning data demands: Bitcoin’s blockchain swelled to nearly 674 gigabytes by September 2025, expanding at a pace that underscores both the currency’s longevity and the opacity of its mining ecosystem. While the United States appears to dominate global mining based on IP-based estimates, researchers caution that VPN use and Bitcoin’s anti-centralization ethos obscure the true geography of mining activity—a reminder that even as AI and blockchain converge in new business tools, the cryptosphere remains an arena where transparency is more aspiration than norm.
