The current trending news says, "The 18th largest bank in the US has collapsed."

  • According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation in California closed down the bank on Friday, March 10, 2023.

  • The bank is called "Silicon Valley Bank" or SVB and is based in Santa Clara, California. Santa Clara falls very close to San Jose and is the heart of the so-called silicon valley.

  • During the last several decades, SVB has been the bank supporting many big tech companies by providing huge loans for development.

SVB's clients include many famous venture capital firms and startups. SVB became a big lender bank among its bigger-name competitor banks


What could be the implications of SVB collapse?

The collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank aroused fear among the investors of the big tech companies.

  • The fear in the banking and financial sector is not baseless!

  • What would happen to the investors' funds in the technology sector?

If the banking sector doesn't get its plans and strategies correct, the future of banking is in real danger.

  • Could this be the spark that may start another significant financial crisis?

  • Does it signal that the big techs would follow the crisis?

<> Several unpleasant questions arise.


Silicon valley can't afford to float in the air of sweet dreams.

  • I remember staying in Santa Clara for about a week in February 1995 when I attended a conference at the San Jose Convention Center.

  • I saw the Intel headquarters and many big tech companies.

<> Are all companies running well and making good profits?

<> Is the future of silicon valley in California and around the globe secured?

  • There are so many questions that rally amidst such a banking crisis.

Indeed, the business world, specifically the technology businesses, faces a crisis turn on the way of their projected success.

It is alarming and significant that Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the 18th-largest bank in the US, has collapsed. Being a significant financial organisation in the centre of Silicon Valley, SVB has over the years been instrumental in assisting startups, venture capital firms, and IT corporations. The stability of the banking sector and its repercussions for the regional economy and the technology sector are both raised by its shutdown.

The said issue threatens even the world of crypto, some says it's start of new recession that everyone feared, a fall of an exchange platforms brings great impacts to investors and holders, what about a one of the biggest bank? this is such a worrying case that everyone should look before it's too late.

Economics seems to be somewhat of a bogus subject. It projects growth even when there is a void in the bank accounts. SVP collapse is a result of such virtual growth!

It shakes the trust of the banking sector. The banks are not a safe haven. Companies associated with the SVB bank see the negative impacts. Circle also has a portion of the fund in the SVB. It's shocking to see the most reliable and trusted stablecoin USDC losing its peg to $1. Not only that, Dai and USDD also lost their peg due to the effect.

The SVP collapse unfurls only the tip of the iceberg. Crypto may have its dues following this financial crisis.

SVB was a famous name in financial institutions and business community but strange news about its collapsing. International energy crisis, lending rebates and high manpower costs hanging around and creating hurdles in flow.

Money, banking, and the whole finance sector are in a soup. Cryptocurrency is not ruled out from this crisis. Or rather, the crypto world may be more prone to such a crisis.
