$250k is the absolute minimum cap, if the bank managed to set literally every dollar they were supposed to be holding on fire in the parking lot.

SVB was only a little (relatively speaking) underwater, so people over $250k are likely to take only a little haircut. Bad for the bank, not particularly disastrous for the individual accounts, even the big ones.
