Soon, Ledger Wallet Ethereum and Ripple applications (native) and Chrome apps were launched, allowing easy management of those cryptocurrencies with the Ledger wallet. Following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/cryptocurrency\">huge growth in cryptocurrency<\/a> market, and launch of several altcoins, Ledger felt the need for a significant facelift.
