Bitcoin jumped suddenly for the second time in as many days, extending its weekly gain to more than 20 percent.
The world’s most traded cryptocurrency climbed nearly $400 in the span of an hour on Friday to $8,175, hitting its high of the day around 9 a.m. in London. While the trigger for the advance was unclear, it followed a similarly rapid gain of more than $1,000 on Thursday.
