>> Is there a way to tell how close SVB is to failing? If SVB fails does the cash kept in it simply disappear or does the fed step in?

As they say themselves, Category IV organizations, like SVBFG, are subject to supervisory stress tests conducted by the Fed "every other year."

Not sure if there are other ways to get tier ratios, would be curious if anyone else could chime in?
