Cryptocurrency prices continue to be in the green on September 23. The global cryptocurrency market cap is Rs 144.81 lakh crores, a 6.2 percent increase over the last day, while the total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours is Rs 8,38,777 crores, which makes a 16.26 percent decrease.

This comes after cryptocurrency prices bounced off 1-1/2 month lows on Tuesday as a heavy selloff overnight linked to concerns about a possible loan default by property developer China Evergrande eased slightly, but investors braced for more volatility.
Global markets started the week on a turbulent note after fears that Evergrande’s troubles could lead to a fallout for the Chinese and global economies prompted a selloff in riskier assets.
