TREE NEWS update: Trezor is ending reseller authorizations on January 1, 2027, after Ledger confirmed that wallets sold by a Southeast Asian retailer carried a hidden implant that sent out users’ recovery phrases. The hardware wallet maker will stop authorizing third-party resellers, cutting off devices sold through retail channels.
Trezor to End Reseller Authorizations From Jan 1, 2027
Trezor's move treats the reseller channel as an unmanageable supply-chain risk after a competitor's retail partner was caught shipping compromised devices. That shifts distribution toward direct and official channels, affecting retailers and buyers who rely on local stock, and puts pressure on other hardware wallet makers to answer for how their devices reach customers. Whether resellers can be replaced without hurting reach in regions where they dominate is the open question.
