Well..lessee--all the depositors money is safe, so there's that. Oh, and after an extensive web crawl, I found nothing to indicate that this is the beginning of anything.
So, your opinion is noted..as is the fact that it is not shared by anyone in the industry.
SVP screwed up, simple as that. The US has stepped in and the FDIC is doing its job. The sky is NOT falling~
From the OP link:
- The FDIC said in the announcement that insured depositors will have access to their deposits no later than Monday morning.
- SVB's branch offices will also reopen at that time, under the control of the regulator.
- The FDIC's standard insurance covers up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank, for each account ownership category.
According to press releases from regulators, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation closed SVB and named the FDIC as the receiver. The FDIC in turn has created the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara, which now holds the insured deposits from SVB.

It is unclear exactly how larger accounts or credit lines for companies will be impacted by the closure. The FDIC said it will pay uninsured depositors an advanced dividend within the next week.
The bank's failure would be the biggest since Washington Mutual.
