XRP hardware wallets

Among the hardware wallets we track, most multi-coin models document XRP support in the maker’s own app; the Bitcoin-only devices do not. Two XRP Ledger rules matter whichever device you choose: a new address needs a reserve of XRP before it exists, and deposits to an exchange usually need a destination tag.

Which hardware wallets support XRP?

Grouped by the app each maker names (the table above has the source for every row):

• Ledger Wallet (formerly Ledger Live): Nano S Plus, Nano X, Nano Gen5, Flex and Stax.
• Trezor Suite: Safe 3, Safe 5, Safe 7 and Model T, on the universal firmware, not the Bitcoin-only edition.
• Tangem app: Tangem Wallet and Tangem Ring.
• SafePal app: S1 Pro and X1.
• Other makers’ own apps: OneKey Pro (OneKey App), Keystone 3 Pro (Keystone Nexus, on multi-coin firmware), ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 (ELLIPAL App, with offline signing), NGRAVE ZERO (LIQUID), Arculus (Arculus app) and KeepKey (Vault Desktop App).

These do not support XRP:

• Bitcoin-only devices: COLDCARD Mk5, COLDCARD Q, Blockstream Jade Plus and Block Bitkey.
• Multi-coin devices without XRP: the BitBox02 Nova Multi, where BitBox says “XRP are currently not supported”, and the Trezor Model One.

For the Passport Prime, we found no Foundation statement confirming or excluding XRP as of 14 October 2026; its product page names Bitcoin and no other coin.

Among the wallets that support XRP, the differences are the screen for checking addresses (its size, or none at all), connection type, backup format and price: see choosing a hardware wallet, Ledger vs Trezor and Tangem vs Ledger.

Do Ledger and Trezor support XRP?

Ledger, yes, on every current model: its shop pages list XRP among the coins in Ledger Wallet, and its XRP page names the Stax, Flex and Nano range. Trezor, yes, except the Model One. Trezor’s XRP article says “XRP is supported on all Trezor Safe Family and Trezor Model T devices”, and its machine-readable firmware support file lists XRP as “not implemented” on the Model One. The same file gives the first firmware with XRP: 2.0.8 on the Model T, 2.6.1 on the Safe 5 and Safe 7, and 2.6.1 or 2.8.1 on the Safe 3, depending on hardware revision.

Native or third-party XRP support: what is the difference?

Native means the maker’s own app and firmware handle XRP. Third-party means the maker leaves XRP to another wallet app that talks to the device. In our data, no featured wallet relies only on a third-party app for XRP.

Some makers list other apps as well. Trezor’s XRP page names MetaMask, Rabby and Exodus next to Trezor Suite, and lists two networks, “Ripple” and “XRPL EVM”, without saying which app covers which. OneKey’s coin list marks XRP for “OneKey App • 3rd-Party Wallets”. Each extra app is one more piece of software to download from the right place and keep updated. Whichever app you use, on a device with a screen the address and amount shown there are the ones to check before you approve. The Tangem cards and ring and the Arculus card have no screen, so you review the transaction in the phone app.

Why does a new XRP wallet need 1 XRP?

The XRP Ledger only keeps an account for an address that holds a minimum balance. The reserves page on xrpl.org gives the current Mainnet values: “Base reserve: 1 XRP” and “Owner reserve: 0.2 XRP per item”, where items are objects the account owns, such as trust lines for tokens, offers and escrows. “To fund a new address, you must receive enough XRP at that address to meet the reserve requirement.”

For a hardware wallet that means:

• The first deposit to a new address must be at least 1 XRP. Trezor: “at least the minimum required amount of 1 XRP must be sent to that address.”
• Reserved XRP cannot be sent to others. xrpl.org: “You cannot send the reserved XRP to others”, though “You can use your reserves to pay transaction fees.” Part of the balance your app shows may not be sendable.
• Most of it comes back if you delete the account. xrpl.org says deletion destroys “at least 0.2 XRP”; Ledger’s XRP page puts the current cost at 0.2 XRP, leaving 0.8 XRP to recover.
• The values can change. Validators vote on reserve settings; the figures above were checked on 14 October 2026.

Do I need a destination tag to send XRP to a hardware wallet?

Usually not. A destination tag is a number attached to a payment so that a business holding many customers’ XRP at one address knows “which customer to credit”, as xrpl.org’s tags page puts it.

• From an exchange to your hardware wallet: Trezor says “Destination tags are not required when receiving XRP into Trezor Suite”, and that any number will do if an exchange insists on one. Ledger’s XRP page says “When sending to your own wallet address, you can usually leave the memo field blank.”
• From your hardware wallet to an exchange: use the exact tag the exchange shows with its deposit address. Without it, xrpl.org says, “it is not immediately obvious which customer to credit”, which can mean a manual claim. Trezor warns that “Failure to include the tag when required could result in losing your funds.” An exchange can also set RequireDest, and the XRP Ledger then rejects payments without a tag.
• Send a test first. Trezor recommends “testing with a small amount first”. The first payment to a new address must still meet the 1 XRP reserve.

Some services show an X-address instead, which “combines a classic address with a tag into a single address”.

How do XRP scams target hardware wallet owners?

The fake wallet warning above lists the maker domains for the wallets in this table. The common patterns:

• Giveaways: Ripple says its CEO is used in deepfake XRP giveaway scams, and that “Ripple will never ask you to send us XRP” (Ripple).
• Fake wallet apps: Ledger’s phishing page describes fake versions of Ledger Wallet that show an “error message” and ask for the 24-word recovery phrase. In Ledger’s words, “There is never a good reason to type your phrase into a computer.”
• Fake support: Ledger says it “will never contact you via text message or phone call.”
• Recovery offers: sent XRP cannot be pulled back. xrpl.org’s scam page says “no one can freeze accounts or revert transactions on the XRP Ledger”, though an exchange that received the funds can freeze the scammer’s account there. Ripple advises you to “Carefully vet any entity that claims to be able to recover your assets.”

What we could not verify

• Foundation Passport Prime: no statement on XRP either way.
• Tags on the device screen: we did not find a statement from every maker that its device shows the destination tag before you approve.
• Trezor’s other apps: which of MetaMask, Rabby and Exodus work with XRP itself rather than XRPL EVM.
• XRP Ledger tokens: the table covers XRP itself, not tokens held through trust lines.
