Professor Jack Graves spoke with Marketwatch for the article “SEC Moves Closer to Blessing Ether ETFs, Cheering Crypto Fans” regarding opening the door for trading of securities based on ether, a form of cryptocurrency. Many experts expect this to soon open the door to ether exchange-traded funds (EFTs.) This would be done through traditional investment methods rather than a crypto wallet.
Ether works a little differently from bitcoin, coin transactions are verified by a subset of the people who hold them. That may have made the SEC uncomfortable, said Graves. “I think there have been concerns about potential control or manipulation,” he said.
