Sebastien Badault, Ledger
At the NYSE Wired: Crypto Trailblazers event, theCUBE’s John Furrier sits down with Sébastien Badault, VP of Enterprise at Ledger, to discuss how the company is meeting the security and governance demands of a rapidly maturing crypto industry. Badault outlines Ledger’s evolution from securing retail crypto users to delivering enterprise-grade custody, governance and integrated services such as off-exchange trading (Tradelink), staking, treasury management and payments. With institutions entering the market in force, he explains why security remains the foundation for scaling crypto adoption and how Ledger is helping traditional finance (TradFi) players bridge into digital assets with proven, hardware-backed solutions. The conversation delves into the enterprise mindset toward crypto adoption, the impact of regulatory clarity from the GENIUS Act and stablecoin frameworks and the technical integrations needed to support a multi-chain future. Badault also shares insights on customization for institutional clients, the convergence of TradFi and crypto ecosystems and the role of Ledger’s global culture in driving innovation. Whether it’s banks, asset managers or fintechs, the message is clear: securing custody is no longer optional; it’s the starting point for unlocking crypto’s enterprise-scale potential.
