Bitcoin and Ether reached their highest levels in more than two months after a major Ethereum upgrade and even in the face of uncertainty over crypto rules in the U.S. infrastructure plan.

Bitcoin gained as much as 3.1% to $45,328 on Sunday, its highest level since May 18. Ether increased as much as 3.5% to $3,191, gaining for a fifth day amid the Ethereum network’s London upgrade, which reduces the pace of growth in the coins.
