Last night in London, XOR gathered a select group of guests, partners, and tastemakers for the unveiling of the XOR Crypto Special Edition – the first luxury handset to unite handcrafted British design with state-of-the-art digital asset security. The evening was hosted by Hutch Hutchison, Co-founder and Head of Design, and Lei Yan, CEO XOR UK.
1. Craftsmanship Meets Innovation
Handcrafted in England from titanium, sapphire crystal, and fine leather, the XOR Crypto Special Edition continues the brand’s tradition of producing objects of individuality and permanence. Yet beneath the surface, it introduces an innovation that redefines mobile security: an integrated crypto wallet.
The XOR wallet provides the security of cold storage. Private keys are stored within a dedicated hardware security zone, while all transactions are signed offline through XOR’s Isolation Mode. This approach ensures that digital assets remain secure from intrusion, without the need for third-party apps or external hardware.
2. A Secure Gateway to the Blockchain
The wallet supports leading blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Binance Smart Chain, alongside major stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. Owners can send, receive, and manage their holdings directly from the device with confidence, knowing every interaction is protected at the hardware level.
As Hutch Hutchison noted during the presentation:
“Our goal was to create an elegant bridge to the blockchain. A phone that behaves like a vault, without compromising on usability or design.”
3. Privacy as the New Luxury
Beyond its crypto capability, the handset continues to deliver XOR’s hallmark security features, including encrypted peer-to-peer calls, the patented XOR-Shield® and XOR-Peer® technologies, and a closed, hardened operating system designed around discretion.
CEO Lei Yan reflected on what the launch represents:
“For our customers – entrepreneurs, wealth creators, and guardians of legacy – privacy is not optional, it is essential. The XOR Crypto Special Edition embodies that belief, offering a seamless blend of craftsmanship, technology, and security.”
4. A Defining Moment
The London unveiling underscored XOR’s role in shaping a new category: intelligent luxury. It is not a mass-market device, but a statement piece for those who value control, privacy, and permanence in a digital world.
As the evening drew to a close, one message was clear: the XOR Crypto Special Edition is not just a phone – it is a secure gateway to crypto, and a new benchmark for luxury in the age of blockchain.
