Trezor ends reseller program following Ledger hardware supply chain attack

Trezor announced it will end all authorized reseller agreements to shift toward a direct-to-consumer model after Ledger confirmed that devices sold by a Southeast Asian retailer contained malicious implants. The hardware tampering, which facilitated the theft of approximately $86 million in user funds, has prompted a broader industry review of distribution security. Ledger is currently investigating the breach while Tether has moved to freeze assets linked to the stolen funds.

INFERY / RESEARCH VERDICT
Rating

Buy YES

YES undervaluedSignificant gapMedium confidence

The rule settles Yes on a single touch at 10 ETH or above, a bar the market treats as less likely than warranted.

“Yes”Fair price range10–100¢
  • Settlement needs only one touch at 10 ETH or above at any moment in the window, not a sustained floor.
  • Coverage since early October is about Ledger and Trezor hardware-wallet security, with no current CryptoPunks floor reading.
⚠Risk: The valuation rests on the rule's touch-at-or-above reading rather than on an observed distance between the floor and the threshold; since CoinGecko's CryptoPunks chart is the sole resolution source, a different threshold or direction reading there would require recalculating the Yes edge.
Next watch: Track the CryptoPunks floor on CoinGecko against 10 ETH through the window; settlement uses that chart alone.
