Ether hit a more than two-month high as the planned software upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain underwent a major test, potentially paving the way for one of the most significant changes in the cryptocurrency sector.
The token rose as much as 4.1% on Thursday and was trading at around $1,900 as of 7:49 a.m. in New York -- more than double a June low below $900 and far outpacing the rebound in Bitcoin over the period. Ether had surged to a record of more than $4,800 in November.
