Also rumors of the Trezor getting it too...
I have been suspicious that this was part of the impetus behind the roll out of the Trezor Model T. I think they tried to implement Monero on their original Trezor and found the hardware was insufficient to produce ring signatures. And I'm not saying that the reason they rolled out the model T was for Monero, but rather because Monero caused them to realize that they needed something a little more future proof.
