Ledger and OKX DEX partner to enable non-custodial crypto swaps

Ledger, the Paris-based hardware wallet manufacturer, is teaming up with OKX DEX to let users swap crypto assets directly from their wallets without relying on intermediaries, the companies announced Tuesday.

The feature, expected to launch soon, keeps assets fully self-custodial, with every transaction approved by a Ledger signer, Ledger stated.

OKX DEX, the permissionless trading portal operated by crypto exchange OKX, will enable token swaps across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, and BNB Chain directly within the Ledger Wallet app.

With access to aggregated liquidity across multiple blockchains, Ledger Wallet users can benefit from enhanced trading efficiency and expanded DeFi opportunities. The partnership reinforces Ledger’s mission to provide secure, user-controlled access to the decentralized ecosystem.

“Ledger Wallet users now have even more options to access the best available deal when swapping,” said Jean-François Rochet, Ledger’s executive vice president of consumer services.

Jonathan Phan, director of growth at OKX DEX, framed the collaboration as both a technical and commercial milestone, noting it supports expansion efforts across Europe and the Americas.

“At OKX DEX, our focus is simple: making sure users get the best possible outcome every time they swap their assets,” Phan noted. “That’s why working with Ledger was so important to us. It allows security-first users to swap seamlessly, without compromising trust or experience.”

Self-custody solutions have drawn increased attention as traders look to reduce exposure to centralized exchange risks following several high-profile platform failures in recent years.

Ledger has shipped more than 8 million devices to customers in over 165 countries and estimates it safeguards roughly one-fifth of global crypto holdings.

The hardware wallet maker unveiled a broader upgrade roadmap for its software application during its Op3n conference in 2025, signaling deeper integration with decentralized finance protocols.
