Excellent summary. The interesting thing to me comparing Silvergate and SVB is that they both got hit by a fall in value of their long-duration bonds, but they had pretty different reasons for the "run on the bank". That is, in Silvergate's case, depositors wanted their money out because people were so fearful after FTX for anything with even a hint of crypto exposure (and Silvergate had more than a hint), and in SVB's case it's because a lot of their tech startups that hold deposits at the bank actually need their money out to spend. |
