  Having your Ledger hardware wallet connected to your computer or mobile device is not mandatory to receive cryptocurrencies. With BYDFi, for example, you can receive cryptocurrencies directly to your Ledger without the need for a physical connection. This feature provides added convenience and flexibility for users.

  No, you don't need to have your Ledger hardware wallet connected to receive cryptocurrencies. With the Ledger Live app, you can generate a receiving address offline and share it with others to receive funds. This offline approach adds an extra layer of security to your transactions.
