The bloodbath in the crypto market continued in the evening trade as well.

However, the global crypto volume was up by 57.26 per cent to $253.56 billion, as per Coinmarketcap data.
In other development, Nithin Kamath, the CEO of Zerodha, India’s largest stock broker by volume, has cautioned via a Tweet about crypto exchange Coinbase filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
He said that if Coinbase goes bankrupt, then the customers’ assets would be at risk.
“Indian crypto investors on exchanges also need to be aware of this. Unlike the stock market where stocks are held in demat with a depository & have no broker risk, crypto with exchanges carry a risk,” read his tweet post.
