The world’s most prominent digital currency climbed above $60,000 close to 10 a.m. EDT, CoinDesk data shows.

Investors also appear to be disinterested in Ether's recent underperformance versus Bitcoin (BTC) and to date, the altcoin's gains stand at 265%.
If Ether manages to stay above $3,600 on Friday, 99% of the $180 million put (sell) options will become worthless.
