Madrid, May 24 (.).- Ether, the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network, fell just over 1% this Friday after the SEC, the US stock market supervisor, approved this Thursday the creation of exchange-traded funds (ETF) linked to the spot price of this cryptocurrency, the second most used in the world after bitcoin.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) already authorized the trading of ETFs linked to the spot price of Bitcoin in January, which facilitated the entry of large institutional investors into the market. cryptocurrencies.
At the closing time of the European markets, ether was down 1.3% and was around $3,710. However, the price had rebounded in recent sessions amid rumors that the SEC could rule soon.

Although the US supervisor's decision is a key step, the applicant funds still need to complete one last step, the filing with the SEC of a document known as S-1, before the ETFs can begin trading.
