Bitcoin headed for its largest increase in two weeks on Monday, as major cryptocurrencies kicked off the week with a broad rally.

Amid a steady drip of news reports suggesting some of the biggest names in investing are taking more of an interest in digital tokens, the largest crypto-coin advanced 6.8 percent to $6,606.18 as of 9:03 a.m. in New York, according to composite prices on Bloomberg. Rival coins Ripple, Ethereum and Litecoin all climbed at least 5 percent. Bitcoin hasn’t notched a one-day gain of more than 2 percent since July 2.
