M.video in the autumn of 2021, began to provide cryptocurrency wallets for sale. As of right now, it provides a Ledger, a Tangem, and both single-currency and multi-currency versions. Interest in these hardware crypto wallets grew significantly in 2022, as seen by the firm’s revenues, which in the first half increased by an eightfold annual rate. Additionally, Ozon admitted that the increased variety of items has fueled the surge in demand. According to reports, the number of things accessible in January increased sevenfold, and by June, the number was six times larger than in January. The e-commerce store highlighted that the currency limitation implemented by the Bank of Russia against the backdrop of Western economic sanctions seemed to have an impact.
