The announcement comes as the demand for crypto wallets continues to grow. A Grand View Research market analysis report shows that the number of crypto wallet users has grown from under 77 to over 84 million globally – and the US market compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the industry is expected to be around 23% for 2023-2030, making it one of the fastest-growing markets in the crypto industry. While hot wallets are expected to continue to account for the majority of market, cold wallets are growing in popularity, too – and the D’Cent offers innovative securities that take the traditional cold wallet one step further, explains The Crypto Merchant.

The e-store emphasizes the high level of security offered by D’Cent. “As with most hardware wallets, this device has enhanced security to protect your assets,” says a company representative. “Along with a key word and fingerprint sensor, there are also private keys and a recovery seed phrase plate included with the product at purchase. These plates with seed phrase words serve as a high-quality wallet recovery process. With this level of security, you’re sure to have a secure account in place with a portable and easy-to-use Bluetooth transfer system.”

The e-store acknowledges that the wallet is not compatible with as many coins as traditional non-biometric alternatives, but it does offer support for the most popular ones – including Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and SRP.

Portable and lightweight, the device features an easy-to-use interface making it ideal for users of all levels of experience.

The Crypto Merchant is announcing the availability of the D’Cent, the world’s first biometric hardware wallet.

More details can be found at https://www.thecryptomerchant.com/products/dcent-biometric-hardware-wallet?_pos=1&_sid=c37c1666b&_ss=r

Coming amid increased awareness of the importance of crypto security – with 2022 seeing record losses to crypto hacking – the announcement brings customers an innovative take on the traditional hardware wallet.

Featuring a biometric fingerprint scanner, the device is only accessible to the owner – and Bluetooth and USB connectivity make data transfer safe and easy. The Crypto Merchant acknowledges the product’s main limitation: it only supports a limited number of cryptocurrencies. However, the wallet is a robust choice for traders interested in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other major assets, and who value security above all else.

Smart ergonomics, a generous feature list, and ultra portability complete the package.

“The D’Cent hardware wallet has more options and buttons than most other hardware devices of its caliber. This actually makes it easier to use. It seems, from the beginning, that this hardware was designed specifically for mobile users,” says a company representative.

“In order to manage funds in your account, you must pair the wallet with a tablet or smartphone. This must be done while running the D’Cent mobile app. The connection can be made via Bluetooth or with a USB cable. In fact, no payments can be sent without a connection to the application. This works for both Android and iOS devices.”

The latest launch from The Crypto Merchant adds the pioneering D’Cent wallet to its comprehensive range of digital currency storage, security, and transaction tools. The product’s fingerprint sensors offer users enhanced protection alongside automatic private key generation and an included recovery seed phrase plate.

The D’Cent Biometric Wallet is the first of its kind and while it currently only offers support for a limited number of cryptocurrencies, its ease of use and state-of-the-art security features more than make up for a lack of breadth in compatibility. The wallet must be paired with a smartphone or tablet to facilitate the management of funds but a companion app makes this a straightforward process.

The D’Cent wallet was developed in 2018 by the South Korean cryptographic development company IoTrust. Biometric access eliminates the issues of forgotten, misplaced, or stolen passwords which can leave crypto holders vulnerable. Millions of dollars worth of digital currency is lost every year due to investors being unable to verify their identity, making the biometric model a hack-proof and timely development.

The D’Cent comes fitted with a powerful 585 mAH battery along with a USB port. A simple four-button design coupled with a single power button and control bar makes this an easy device to navigate. Measuring 78.2 x 43.2 x 10.8 mm, the wallet is one of the larger models on the market yet only weighs 36 grams. This makes it both easy to use and convenient to carry around.

The companion app allows users to check prices at a glance, manage holdings, and make rapid, secure transactions. A DAPP browser function enables in-app operations and the management of NFTs as well.

About The Crypto Merchant

The company was founded in New York City by a group of early crypto adopters, coders, miners, investors, and engineers.

The merchandise collection includes a variety of waterproof hardware wallet cases from brands like Casematix and Trezor, as well as soft goods like laptop sleeves and tote bags.

Given the value of crypto assets, crypto traders must utilize as many security measures as they can to protect their investments. Hardware wallets and recovery seed backup tools are effective methods of offline storage, but even these can be lost, stolen, or damaged. For added protection, The Crypto Merchant recommends a case.

The Crypto Merchant offers several case options as part of their merchandise collection. The Casematix Waterproof Hard Case features a military-grade shell with a triple-layer lining of rubber and foam. It also includes waterproof O-ring lining and an air-pressurization seal. It’s capable of holding hardware wallets from Ledger, Trezor, and more.

Another option is the Trezor One Case. Unlike the heavy-duty Casematix case, the Trezor One Case is a practical and stylish silicone case. Its sleek design and soft-touch buttons allow for easy USB access. It’s available in an assortment of bright colors for increased visibility and comes with a lanyard.

Given that a lot of crypto trading takes place on laptops and tablets, The Crypto Merchant’s merchandise collection also includes the popular Bitcoin World Domination Laptop Sleeve. The lightweight, form-fitting sleeve is made with polyester-encased foam padding for extra protection and features a pixel graphic on the front. The sleeve also includes a top-loading zipper enclosure for easy access.

“The cases are sturdy and compact, and even have a little bit of extra room–I imagine you could fit a few wallets in them if you wanted to,” said a satisfied customer. “They offer true peace of mind also because you know your assets are off exchanges and safe from damage.”

“Most crypto traders utilize software wallets, hardware wallets, and recovery seed backup tools to protect their assets.

In terms of hard cases, The Crypto Merchant offers a few case options. The Casematix Waterproof Hard Case features a military-grade shell, waterproof O-ring lining, and air-pressurization seal, and it’s capable of holding hardware wallets from Ledger, Trezor, and more. Another option is the Casematix Hardware Wallet Travel & Protection Case, which offers similar security features as the Hard Case, only in a more compact and portable way.

Also included in the new collection are some soft case options. “The Trezor One Case is a simple silicone case with soft-touch buttons and easy USB access,” the representative said. “We also have the imKey Pro Leather Case, which offers a more premium way of carrying hardware wallets around.”

“I ordered a hard case from The Crypto Merchant and I have to say I’m impressed,” said a satisfied customer. “I like the overall build quality of the product; it’s a sturdy case with a good zipper. It’s also much more compact than I was expecting, which works way better for me and my hardware wallet. I can’t thank them enough.”

With the SecuX XSEED Pro, The Crypto Merchant is providing customers with an offline seed phrase storage solution that is impervious to both online and offline threats. The weatherproof device is made using 6 mm thick stainless steel and can securely hold 12, 18, and 24-word recovery seed phrases.

More details can be found at https://www.thecryptomerchant.com/collections/hardware-wallets/products/xseed-pro-seed-backup

Barring market crashes or significant losses, a crypto trader’s worst nightmare is forgetting or misplacing their private key or seed phrase. This is because a private key or seed phrase allows traders to access their assets even after a crisis. Most savvy crypto traders invest in a backup tool, such as the SecuX XSEED Pro, to safely store their private key or seed phrase.

The SecuX XSEED Pro offers an extra layer of security in one robust nearly indestructible device. Its strong and durable structure prevents any bending or warping under high-pressure impact and is waterproof, fireproof, and corrosion-resistant.

The device supports BIP39 mnemonic and is compatible with all software and hardware wallets, including those from SecuX, Ledger, Trezor, Trust Wallet, Phantom, and Coinbase. To use the device, customers simply unlock the frame, release the lever, insert the laser-engraved tiles spelling out their words, and then lock the frame back up again.

In addition to the device itself, the SecuX XSEED Pro comes with the laser-engraved tiles, an unlocking tool, and tamper-proof stickers. It also includes an aluminum plate and engraver pen, which can be used as an additional form of seed phrase storage.

“This offline seed storage wallet is the nicest wallet of its kind,” said a satisfied customer. “It’s thins and compact yet heavy and solid! It’s a well-built tool, which is reflected in its price tag. It’s also fireproof and waterproof, making it a preferred alternative to USB or paper wallets. I can’t overstate how happy I am with this product.”

The Crypto Merchant announces the availability of the BitBox SteelWallet seed phrase backup tool – a robust solution for crypto investors looking to keep their assets secured.

More details can be found at https://www.thecryptomerchant.com/collections/hardware-wallets/products/bitbox-steel-wallet

The announcement comes as the demand for crypto security and asset protection products continues to increase. With higher awareness about the risks of crypto attacks – and with crypto assets recently seeing a renewed popularity – investors of all experience levels are recognizing the importance of keeping their assets protected with hardware wallets and seed phrase recovery tools.

“Although there are many security features placed on hardware devices and within the software, these do not always keep your sensitive data safe,” said a company spokesperson. “What you need is a backup tool to keep cybercriminals away from your important financial information.”

Seed phrase recovery tools are an essential part of any cryptocurrency investor’s security strategy, says The Crypto Merchant. They enable users to securely store and retrieve their unique seed phrase – a string of words used to generate a private key for accessing their cryptocurrency wallets. Seed phrase recovery tools like the BitBox SteelWallet provide investors with a highly secure, tamper-proof method for backing up their seed phrases, ensuring that their digital assets are protected from theft or loss.

One of the main features of the BitBox Steel Wallet is its robust construction, which includes a stainless steel case that is water- and fire-proof.

The BitBox SteelWallet can be used for any BIP-39 hardware wallet, allowing users to secure the most common crypto assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many others.

Another key advantage of the BitBox Steel Wallet is its user-friendly interface, explains the e-store. The device is designed to be easy to use, even for investors with little or no technical experience. To back up their seed phrase, users simply stamp their seed phrase onto the stainless steel plate using the integrated stamping kit.

With the latest update, The Crypto Merchant expands its range of crypto security products to meet the needs of modern crypto investors, traders, and other users.

The Crypto Merchant, an authorized dealer for popular cryptocurrency-related brands such as ShiftCrypto, Ledger, Trezor, and KeepKey, has launched a new wallet developed by SecuX that is the first NFT-specific hardware device of its kind.

More information about crypto hardware wallets, the SecuX NFT-focused wallet, and other products from The Crypto Merchant can be found at https://www.thecryptomerchant.com/products/secux-nifty

While most crypto hardware wallets use a minimalist design, with small screens and simple layouts, the new device from SecuX takes the opposite approach, with a device that is over 50% display screen. At 2.8 inches, the Nifty wallet has the largest color touchscreen to ever launch with a hardware wallet and several new safety features that are unique to NFTs.

Every Nifty wallet comes with a built-in military-grade Infineon SLE solid Flash CC EAL5+ Secure Element chip, which meets or exceeds the industry standard for crypto wallets, and helps to protect private keys against cyber threats. The device also uses an automatic PIN shuffling feature that causes the numbers to appear in a new position each time, so no one can determine a user’s PIN by the wear on their wallet.

The Nifty wallet also has a new NFT verification feature, which has not been seen before on any hardware wallet. Known as “true ownership on-device viewing and confirmation,” SecuX has designed the Nifty wallet to only display NFTs that are owned by the account holder, which allows the wallet-holder to verify their ownership of an NFT, just by showing it on their screen.

The device comes packaged with an X-SEED aluminum backup sheet, which traders can use to record the backup recovery seed phrase for their Nifty wallet. With the seed phrase safely recorded on a waterproof and highly fire-resistant metal plate, traders can restore the contents of a lost, stolen, or damaged wallet, simply by entering the phrase into a new device.

Though the Nifty wallet is intended primarily for NFT collectors, it also supports coins on Ethereum, Polygon, and Binance Smart Chains (BSC). Using in-app support, it allows easy access to online DeFi marketplaces for buying, selling, viewing NFTs, and checking rarity trackers.

The latest release from The Crypto Merchant provides crypto holders with a state-of-the-art solution to misplaced, lost, or stolen seed phrases and passwords. Made by the esteemed manufacturer SecuX, the product ships with two stainless steel metal sheets and two industrial-grade aluminum plates alongside engraving tools and tamper-proof stickers.

More details can be found at https://www.thecryptomerchant.com/collections/hardware-wallets/products/xseed-pro-seed-backup

The launch expands the store’s already comprehensive collection of cutting-edge crypto security devices and coin storage solutions, providing peace of mind for customers and ensuring ready access to their assets. The Crypto Merchant enjoys a longstanding partnership with SecuX and is currently offering complimentary shipping for all orders within the US.

With millions of dollars worth of digital currency lost every year due to hacked or lost wallets, the risks of inadequate backups can prove extremely costly for investors. Recovery plates allow users to record the private keys and seed phrases generated by their hardware or software wallets. These phrases follow the BIP39 protocol and are made up of mnemonic words.

The XSEED plates act as a vital last line of defense for digital assets, offering a way to access one’s hardware wallet even if the initial key code has been lost. Despite their slim profile – just 1.5 mm thick – the steel plates can withstand temperatures of up to 2639 degrees Fahrenheit as well as being waterproof and resistant to rust.

The plates are easily stamped or engraved with all phrases notated via single stoke indentations and both the XSEED Pro and the standard model offer multiple backup sets. As a fully offline security tool, the device eliminates the threat of hacking posed by online seed phrase storage.

All products in The Crypto Merchant collection are kept securely in a temperature-controlled warehouse and reach customers in factory condition. All recovery plates and wallets sold by the store come with a full manufacturer’s warranty and a standard 30-day returns policy.

A spokesperson says, “If your wallet falls into the hands of a third party, full encryption of your data via PIN numbers and other additional layers of security prevents them from ever accessing your funds.”

The recently added Billfodl Recovery Seed Backup Tool is an offline cold storage device capable of holding 12-, 18-, and 24-word recovery seed phrases. The tool is a robust and damage-proof alternative to paper, ink, and pencil, which even when kept secure, eventually corrode over time.

More details can be found at https://www.thecryptomerchant.com/collections/billfodl

Generally speaking, software and hardware wallets are safe and secure ways of protecting crypto investments. But even these tools are susceptible to loss, theft, hacking, and tampering. This is why a lot of crypto traders are turning to devices such as The Crypto Merchant’s new Billfodl Recovery Seed Backup Tool for an added layer of offline protection.

The American-designed Billfodl Recovery Seed Backup Tool is made using laser-cut 316 Marine Grade stainless steel. The steel is waterproof and corrosion-resistant and forged to withstand temperatures as high as double the average house fire. Because it’s entirely offline, it’s also impossible for hackers to access it.

To store recovery seeds, traders simply slide laser-engraved alphanumeric tiles into the chassis of the device spelling out the words in their unique phrases. Once set, the device is sealed using a screw-locking mechanism. The tiles are permanently etched, so there is no possibility of the letters or numbers fading. This also means that no additional stamping is required either.

The Billfodl Recovery Seed Backup Tool is compatible with all hardware wallets, software wallets, and password managers that use hexadecimal or BIP39 seeds, keys, and passwords. It has space for up to 96 characters and comes with 360 tiles.

“Anyone with a significant amount of cryptocurrency that is still relying on paper seeds as backup needs to consider getting a Billfodl Recovery Seed Backup Tool,” said a spokesperson for The Crypto Merchant. “It’s an affordable insurance policy against the many potential threats that digital and paper backup seeds don’t protect against.”

The Billfodl Recovery Seed Backup Tool is available individually or in packs of four through The Crypto Merchant’s website.

The Crypto Merchant is a leading platform for trusted crypto products and asset security information. In addition to Billfodl products, they are also an authorized retailer of Trezor, Ledger, Shift Crypto, Cryptotag, and KeepKey products.
