Bitcoin tests 15-month highs after 10 per cent weekend jump

Bitcoin tested 15-month highs on Monday after jumping more than 10 per cent over the weekend, with analysts ascribing the spike to growing optimism over the adoption of cryptocurrencies after Facebook unveiled its Libra digital coin.

The biggest cryptocurrency hit $11,247.62 on the Bitstamp exchange late on Sunday, its highest since March last year. It later pulled back, and was last up 0.7 per cent at $10,917.
