CVC25 Closing Keynote

Crypto Valley Conference 2025 · June 2025 · 22:20

Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier closes out Crypto Valley Conference 2025 with a keynote on why self-custody, especially for Bitcoin, is foundational to digital freedom rather than a purely financial choice. He warns against trading privacy for convenience, arguing that real freedom starts with holding direct control over private keys rather than delegating custody to a third party. Gauthier positions hardware wallets as the practical mechanism that makes that control usable at scale.
