JackSeal Posted March 11, 2023 Report Posted March 11, 2023 Silicon Valley Bank's president successfully pressured lawmakers to weaken bank risk regulations before his bank's collapse. They captured the regulator. And as a result, 93% of the bank's $161 billion in deposits are uninsured, according to Max Reyes at Bloomberg News. California is the largest sub-national economy in the world. If California were a sovereign nation (2022), it would rank in terms of nominal GDP as the world's fifth largest economy, behind Germany and ahead of India. Furthermore, California's agriculture industry has the highest output of any U.S. state. California's agriculture industry is the largest in the country, averaging $50 billion in annual revenue and employing more than 400,000 people. Ag+tech has been one of the hottest growth categories in our industry. The Silicon Valley Bank fallout has catastrophic implications far beyond traditional tech. Quote

May be they mean most are above the 250k limit. Lot of them are start ups just keeping their money there. Everyone will probably get the money back but it'll take time unless someone outright buys the bank and provides liquidity. Problem is the start ups that have to run payroll end of the month don't have time to wait for payment, so it'll effect their operations and probably close.

IMO SVB will be saved by the feds by a combination of bail out money + FDIC + selling assets. It will take some time but I think it will happen. Unlike in some of the other failures, there is no loss of capital, its just that the capital is tied up in low yield (but also low risk) mortgage backed securities. 1 Quote
Codemonkey Posted March 11, 2023 Report Posted March 11, 2023 BTW I just drove past the SVB HQ on Tasman, I see lot of folks standing right outside the Bank (not sure what they plan to do there). Quote

When Fed raised interest rates, the value of the MBS went down. 1 Quote
