Ledger, the crypto hardware wallet manufacturer, is reportedly preparing for a U.S. initial public offering that could value the company at over $4 billion, with investment banks Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Barclays leading the potential New York Stock Exchange listing.

However, the path forward is nuanced, shaped by a mixed performance in crypto stocks, a shifting regulatory landscape, and the volatile trajectory of the broader crypto market.
