Are there any plans to implement buying ADA directly from the Daedalus wallet?

It would be of great help to people living in New York and other places where Cardano trading exchanges are not licensed to operate.

Hi R.Vaz and welcome. I dont think that will happen, as it’s two very different things, and files, taxes and many other factors playing in there.

Hello,

Yes, can be;

Ledger provides u better security

## What is a hardware wallet

A hardware wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet which stores the user’s private keys (critical piece of information used to authorise outgoing transactions on the blockchain network) in a secure hardware device. The main principle behind hardware wallets is to provide full isolation between the private keys and your easy-to-hack computer or smartphone.
