Silicon Valley Bank is now under receivership
Posted on 3/10/23 at 11:58 am
Posted on 3/10/23 at 11:58 am
The Bank has collapsed in about 24 hours and California Dept of Finance has now shut them down and placed the FDIC as receiver. Is this the largest bank to ever collapse this quickly?
I work with clients who utilize SVB and their funds are now locked up until FDIC can sort it out. Massive implications. Hopefully isolated to SVB, but certainly every regional / national bank is sitting on massive unrealized bond losses. Hopefully the other banks have better diversification of industry sectors that won’t feel what Tech is feeling.
What was once a blue chip success story is now up in smoke.
How did they not forecast a liquidity crunch sooner? Or why did they not try the preferred stock raise sooner rather than the liquidation of the bond portfolio? SVB industry peers are all taking massive hits to stock price and trading was already halted in FRC/PacWest/Western Alliance.
Again, hopefully isolated and not the tip of the iceberg for the financial sector…

SI, SBNY, SVB were all doomed to fail once the SEC started cracking down on cryptoassests.
SBNY the only one still standing from just two weeks ago

True, but didn’t think SIVB had nearly as massive as crypto exposure as SI

They don't directly, but they banked the two largest crypto venture capitalist funds Seqouia and a16z. As well as stablecoin issuer Circle.
Exposure is there, but not directly.
This chart sums it up

Good riddance. This will be mostly contained. Sure, there'll be some other stupid banks, but this is nothing.

At Silicon Valley Bank, north of 93% of the bank's $161 billion in deposits are uninsured per a recent regulatory filing,

Makes a ton of sense, this was not a retail bank with everyday customers.
They banked Venture Funds and held money for companies like Circle which were under intense withdraw pressure. Since not many banks would even do business with these people I am sure they had a lot of money over the 250K limit there

Because everyone under estimates a liquidity event and how fast it happens.

They did - the CEO sold $3.57 million of stock within the last two weeks.

Payroll processors that use SVB to issue payments cannot send direct deposits...and this may have something to do with all the complaints about Wells Fargo direct deposits today.

A bank run? What is this the 20s?
Oh, snap.
I’ll see myself out.

Classic insider trading. Should be an open and closed case. Unless, he has paid off some people.
