Lédger® Live Not Showing Balance — Troubleshooting Guide
Lédger® Live Not Showing Balance — Troubleshooting Guide
Seeing a missing, incorrect, or delayed balance in Lédger® Live can be concerning, but it does not necessarily mean that your cryptocurrency has disappeared. Ledger has been transitioning the name “Ledger Live” to Ledger Wallet, and its official support resources include troubleshooting for missing balances, synchronization problems, network issues, and differences between mobile and desktop balances.
Your crypto assets remain recorded on their respective blockchain networks. The application displays information retrieved from those networks and related Ledger infrastructure. Therefore, a temporary synchronization problem, network-service issue, unsupported asset configuration, or application problem can sometimes cause the displayed balance to be incomplete or unavailable.
One of the first things to check is Ledger's official status page. Network-specific problems can affect the ability to view balances or transaction histories. For example, Ledger's current status information reports an ongoing issue affecting the Icon (ICX) mainnet that may affect balance and transaction visibility.
If your particular cryptocurrency is experiencing a service disruption, waiting for the network service to recover may be the appropriate solution. Avoid making unnecessary wallet changes while investigating a temporary service problem.
A weak or interrupted internet connection can prevent the application from retrieving current blockchain information. Make sure your computer or smartphone has a stable internet connection and then reopen Lédger® Live.
If the balance remains unavailable, check whether other accounts load correctly. If only one cryptocurrency is affected, the problem may be related to that specific network rather than your entire application.
Using an outdated version can sometimes create compatibility or synchronization problems. Check Ledger's official software resources for the current application version and install updates only from Ledger's genuine website.
Do not download wallet software from unofficial websites, advertisements, pop-ups, or links received through unsolicited messages.
Ledger provides an official troubleshooting resource for synchronization errors. If your account information is not refreshing correctly, follow Ledger's recommended synchronization steps rather than attempting unverified recovery methods.
Ledger also provides specific guidance for situations where accounts cannot be found in Ledger Wallet and for cases involving incorrect portfolio or asset values.
If your desktop and mobile applications display different balances, Ledger has a dedicated support article addressing this situation.
Another possible explanation is that you are viewing a different account from the one associated with your cryptocurrency. Check the account name, asset, network, and receiving address carefully.
For example, tokens can operate on different blockchain networks, and selecting the wrong network or account may make an expected asset appear missing from the interface.
Do not delete accounts or reset your hardware device simply because a balance is temporarily absent. First verify the relevant blockchain address using a reputable blockchain explorer and compare it with the receiving address associated with your Ledger account.
A missing balance should never be treated as a reason to enter your Secret Recovery Phrase into a website or online recovery form.
Your recovery phrase is highly sensitive. Never provide it to someone claiming to be Ledger support, and never enter it into an unsolicited application, browser extension, website, email, or chat. If a website tells you that you must submit your recovery phrase to synchronize or restore a balance, stop immediately.

If Lédger® Live is not showing your balance, remain calm and troubleshoot systematically. Check Ledger's service status, verify your internet connection, update the application, review synchronization, confirm the correct account and network, and consult Ledger's official support resources. A temporary display problem does not automatically mean that your cryptocurrency has been lost.
Security Notice: Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase, PIN, or private keys with anyone. Use only official Ledger resources when troubleshooting wallet balances or account access.
