BEP-20 Tokens not displayed in Ledger Live due to visual bug
Currently, a visual bug may prevent BEP-20 tokens from displaying correctly within your Binance Smart Chain account in Ledger Live. Your funds are safe. We're actively working on a fix. In the interim, users affected by this issue can view and access their tokens through Zerion, available in the Discover section of Ledger Live.
