‘Real recognize real' says Ledger exec on surprise sports deal
'Real recognize real' says Ledger exec on surprise sports deal originally appeared on TheStreet. Ian Rogers, chief experience officer at Ledger, unpacked the company's decision to back the San Antonio Spurs with a multi-year jersey-patch sponsorship. 'Real recognize real,' Rogers said in an interview with TheStreet Roundtable, invoking his hip-hop roots to explain the choice. Rogers emphasized that Ledger and the Spurs share core values of hard work, integrity and a global outlook. 'The Spurs are a unique ball club — their ethics match ours,' he said. He pointed to the franchise's international legacy, from Tony Parker's Hall of Fame career to Victor Wembanyama's rising star power, as a mirror to Ledger's own footprint. 'We ship our product into 200 countries every month,' Rogers noted — an advantage over region-locked FinTech firms constrained by local regulation. By aligning with an NBA team that transcends U.S. markets, Rogers believes Ledger can better communicate its mission of financial empowerment. 'In America, we want to talk to people about financial freedom and the next phase of owning their financial journey,' he stablecoins and crypto assets become embedded across websites, Rogers warned of heightened fraud risks. 'You might have significant value in stored-value accounts and stablecoins across many sites on the internet soon,' he said. That proliferation of dispersed balances, he argued, underscores the importance of hardware wallets and two-factor authentication. Whether as a second factor for services like Coinbase and Robinhood or as a standalone vault, Ledger's tools protect users from phishing and hacks. Beyond sports marketing, Rogers highlighted recent Ledger initiatives. The company rolled out its Recovery Key feature this spring and launched the CL credit card in the U.S., enabling users to spend crypto anywhere credit cards are accepted and earn Bitcoin as cash-back rewards. 'We're always building new hardware, integrating blockchains and adding services,' Rogers said. He described Ledger's guiding principle as delivering 'the most secure hardware with the best user experience — no compromise on security or self-custody.' Rogers concluded by reaffirming the partnership's dual purpose: to work hard and play hard, while educating a new generation of trendsetters. 'It's the most fun I've ever had in my career,' he said. 'We're here to push the envelope on financial empowerment.'

Former Apple exec has one word response to new regulation
Former Apple exec has one word response to new regulation originally appeared on TheStreet. In an interview with TheStreet Roundtable, Ian Rogers, chief experience officer at Ledger, celebrated the Senate's passage of the GENIUS Act and its promise of clear stablecoin regulation. 'Beginning of July 2024, we were preparing to go to Bitcoin Nashville and launch the Ledger Flex. If I think back to that time, it was almost unthinkable that we could have sane regulation around crypto in the US,' Rogers said. He added that crypto was once 'persona non grata,' despite offering 'somewhat obvious solutions to many problems.' Rogers noted that stablecoins represent 'really low hanging fruit' given the billions already in circulation. Rogers highlighted how businesses are shifting from legacy banking rails to crypto rails. 'Even if you look at my former employer LVMH, who settles transactions in pretty much every currency around the world every single day, that system moves at the speed and the cost of banking rails. Now imagine when that moves at the speed and the cost of crypto rails and it being optimized for the fact that you can easily move a dollar or any fraction thereof or any multiple thereof for less than a penny,' he explained. He contrasted this with the typical 3 % merchant fee on credit-card transactions, emphasizing his preference for 'digital cash settlement.' Rogers foresees non-crypto companies rebuilding their backends entirely on crypto rails. 'That technology is here, it's been here a long time,' he said, and praised regulators for allowing stablecoin use cases to flourish. He acknowledged setbacks like FTX but remained optimistic that 'rational thinking and sanity wins out in the end.' Rogers cautioned that as websites start acting like 'Starbucks cards,' holding stablecoin balances for everyday spending, the potential for fraud and theft will skyrocket. He urged users to adopt hardware wallets and two‐factor solutions like Ledger to protect 'significant value in the form of stored value and stablecoins across many websites on the internet.'

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office arrested a Seminole County man on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, for planning to blow up his ex-girlfriend's car. On April 18, 2025, the SCSO Hazardous Devices Team responded to 1268 Wellington Terrace in Maitland about a suspicious item inside the residence. Detectives on the scene served the homeowner, 22-year-old Ian Rogers, with a Temporary Risk Protection Order and searched the residence. SCSO located the suspicious device, which was described as a black plastic container with orange wires wrapped around it and tape around the lid. During the investigation, deputies discovered Rogers had threatened to blow up his ex-girlfriend's car on FaceTime. Investigators met with the ex-girlfriend and were informed that she and Rogers dated for approximately a month. During the relationship, she realized he was becoming verbally and mentally abusive towards her, and she ended the relationship. Due to her ending the relationship, Rogers began harassing her and threatening to kill himself. Due to threatening his own life, she agreed to FaceTime Rogers.

Iconic UK music festival is making a comeback 14 YEARS after being axed & will be the ‘biggest beach party' ever
MIC DROP The festival has hosted the likes of Calvin Harris and Jason Derulo AN ICONIC British music festival is making a return, 14 years after it was scrapped. T4 on the Beach, which was axed back in 2012, is getting revamped as Summer Fest on the Beach for 2026. 3 3 3 The hotly anticipated new festival will hit the shores of Weston-super-Mare next summer with huge international names set to perform. 'This is more than just a festival—it's a full-blown celebration of music, nostalgia, and British summer magic", festival founder Ian Rogers said. "The response so far has been incredible, and we're pulling out all the stops to make this the biggest beach party the UK has seen in years. "Whether you grew up with T4 on the Beach or just love unforgettable live music, this is your chance to be part of something special.' In T4 on the beach's heyday, it hosted the likes of Calvin Harris, Jason Derulo and Sophie Ellis Bextor. However, the festival was axed after Channel 4 dropped the T4 brand back in 2012. Festival lovers hoping to attend the rebranded festival next year can register their interest here. Registering will mean you are the first to hear about pre-sales and artist updates. T4 on the Beach was initially called Pop Beach and was held in Great Yarmouth from 2003 to 2005. In 2005, the one-day festival then moved to Weston-Super-Mare, which is where the new festival will be held. Here's how to do festival looks on a budget - and save the planet In anticipation of the event, Visit Weston posted: "You're going to absolutely LOVE THIS! "Summer Fest On The Beach is a brand new festival launching in 2026, right here on the beach in Weston-super-Mare! "The excitement around what this event could mean to our town is incredible. "Think sunshine, sand, wide smiles, massive artists, beach bars, street food, and unforgettable moments, with the backdrop of our beautiful sunsets." Social media users were quick to share their excitement for the event. One person said: "We remember T4!" Another person said: "Can't wait!" A third beamed: "I'm in." A fourth simply penned: "OMG!"
