TREE NEWS update: MediaMarkt Saturn has stopped selling Ledger hardware wallets across its European electronics stores after a customer in Germany reported an implant, and resellers across Southeast Asia have also taken the devices off shelves. Ledger says every verified drain traced so far originates in Southeast Asia. The withdrawal affects both the retail chain and third-party resellers in the region.
MediaMarkt Saturn Pulls Ledger Wallets in Europe Over Implant Report
The notable shift here is that a custody-hardware story is being driven by retail distribution and regional trust rather than by a protocol failure, and Ledger's own claim that verified drains trace to Southeast Asia sits awkwardly beside resellers there pulling stock. That mismatch leaves the geographic scope of the problem unresolved, which matters for European buyers who now face fewer physical purchase channels. Whether other retailers follow MediaMarkt Saturn, and whether Ledger can substantiate or narrow its regional attribution, is the open question.
