$ETH Unlike $BTC, Ethereum is considered the mother of cryptocurrency ecosystems. It trades on exchanges under the code ETH, and yesterday in Canada, the ETH ETF debuted for the first time.

But how did ETHEREUM come about? In 2013, a Russian developer and programmer, V. Buterin, based in Canada, created a Distributed Computing platform, unlike current Blockchains which are 'Distributed Databases'. In early 2014, the Ethereum Foundation was born as the first step in organizing the history of the Project. The first step and cornerstone of the Project was fundraising; the initial price was 2,000 tokens for each BTC during the first 14 days, and the rest was exchanged for 1,339 tokens per BTC, thus minting 12 million ETH.

The official launch of the Ethereum Frostier Network was in 2015. Then, basic functions began to be implemented with bug fixes and ecosystem improvements. The most important was the introduction of Shards and the PoW consensus layer, which today is changing to the PoS protocol.
