Ether, the second-largest token, paced a drop in digital assets following a slump in equities that spread unease in global markets.

Ether slid as much as 7.8%, the most in three weeks, and was trading at $3,160 as of 12:40 p.m. Thursday in New York. Market-leader Bitcoin was down approximately 2% to $64,950.
