Money 20/20 USA: Ledger's Ariel Wengroff on Ledger Atom & controlling AI Agents
5m 35s
Ariel Wengroff, EVP of Communications and Marketing at Ledger, sits down with JD Durkin at Money 20/20 USA in Las Vegas to introduce Ledger Atom, a security and privacy device that runs your everyday apps while handling what your phone can’t be trusted with. Wengroff explains how Atom switches automatically between Android for everyday use and Ledger OS for anything sensitive, with protections enforced in hardware so malware can’t see or fake what happens in Secure Mode. The conversation also covers Ledger Agent Intent, which lets AI agents like OpenClaw propose actions but never hold your keys, so every sensitive move waits for your physical approval. Along the way, Wengroff makes the case that human agency is the defining issue of the AI era, and that Ledger has grown from a consumer crypto company into security infrastructure for individuals and institutions alike.
