Банката на Силиконската долина затворена од регулаторот во Калифорнија

Silicon Valley Bank, a major financial institution for venture-backed companies, was shut down by California’s financial watchdog on March 10 — marking the first Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured bank to fail in 2023. 

Одделот за финансиска заштита и иновации во Калифорнија потврди дека банката во Силиконската долина добила наредба да се затвори, но не ја прецизираше причината за затворањето. Калифорнискиот регулатор го назначи FDIC како примач за заштита на осигурените депозити. 

Depositors “will have full access to their insured deposits no later than Monday morning, March 13, 2023,” read the official statement. The regulator explained that uninsured depositors would be given a “receivership certificate for the remaining amount of their uninsured funds” and entitled to future dividend payments once the FDIC sells all Silicon Valley Bank assets.

Silicon Valley Bank, which is also known as SVB, operated 17 branches across California and Massachusetts. All branches and the main office will be open on March 13 to facilitate depositor access.

SVB is one of the United States’ 20 largest banks by total assets. The bank дава финансиски услуги на неколку ризични фирми фокусирани на крипто, including Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia.

Падот на банката беше брз, доаѓајќи помалку од 48 часа по управувањето откриени that they needed to raise $2.25 billion in stock to shore up operations. The announcement was part of SVB’s mid-quarter financial update, where it disclosed the sale of $21 billion in securities at a $1.8 billion loss.

Trading in SVB stock was halted on March 9 due to extreme volatility. The stock’s 60% drop was the biggest single-day wipeout in history, според до Волстрит журнал.
