You’re aware that ~$150B of $200B SVB deposits are not covered by FDIC insurance, correct? I don’t think SVB is going to end up 0, but pointing at 25% of investments being safe and saying “look regulation works so well” seems absurd.

All the people involved are institutional investors. 0% of people who have USD savings under $250k are affected by this. On the other hand, anybody who has a significant portion of their net worth tied up in cryptocurrency is affected by this.
Minor correction, people employed by companies that banked with SVB are also heavily affected here.
Indeed, if your company is in the banking business without understanding the banking business, you might have a surprise coming up. As in most other industries.
... and all the people and companies those companies banking with SVB have to pay?
