Trezor Releases Crypto Hardware Wallet Trezor Safe 5

Crypto hardware wallet firm Trezor announced the release of its latest flagship device the Trezor Safe 5 (TS5) for crypto storage.

The TS5 is available as a Bitcoin-only version and has upgraded security features, a haptic colour touchscreen, and improved backup and is available in various finishes, said Tezos.

The new product was unveiled by Trezor CEO Matěj Žák who took centerstage at BTC Prague to unveil a range of products. The cost of the wallet is $169.

“For many people, their crypto journeys begin on centralised exchanges before they progress to taking responsibility themselves for storing their crypto on hardware wallets,” said Žák.

‘We’ve seen this play out many times after the collapse of high-profile exchanges when our sales suddenly spike. But newcomers to hardware wallets sometimes lack experience, knowledge and confidence in setting up hardware wallets – turning to social media and internet research to help them through the process. We wanted to give customers access to personalised guidance from a trusted, reputable brand recognised for its commitment to security,” added Žák.

Trezor Expert Launched for Self-Custody

Trezor also launched Trezor Expert, a service for onboarding into self-custody.According to Žák Trezor Expert aims to help customers set up their hardware wallets correctly, it allows them to explore the security considerations of self-custody in more detail as they cover topics such as private key management and safe online practices.
