The global crypto market cap decreased by 0.25 per cent to $1.99 trillion at 8.50 am. The global crypto volume too decreased by 17.67 per cent to $88.12 billion, as per Coinmarketcap data. 

"Bitcoin crossed $45,000 for a short duration yesterday, and is currently trading slightly above $44,000. Ether and other major altcoins have underperformed when compared to Bitcoin, suggesting lower appetite for risk among crypto traders," says Gaurav Dahake, CEO and founder, Bitbns.
