Silicon Valley Bank Tries to Prevent Bank Run After Shocking Collapse

SVB Financial Group’s record plunge on Thursday minted short sellers roughly half a billion dollars in paper profits. But they now face a challenge: how to close their positions.

SVB shares plunged by 60% on Thursday as worries mounted over the bank’s operation, netting traders who bet against the stock a one-day mark-to-market profit of roughly $513 million. The stock fell another 63% in premarket trading Friday before being halted, with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. ultimately announcing that it had seized the bank.

Silvergate Bank voluntary liquidation:

How Silvergate’s Crypto Collapse Differed From Silicon Valley Bank’s: No Bailout
A deep dive into regulatory filings shows how Silvergate Bank's collapse was, in a strange way, the ideal scenario for a failing institution. Sure, shareholders got wiped out, but depositors are made whole and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. isn't putting in a dime.

So, this happened...


Press Release
March 19, 2023
Coordinated central bank action to enhance the provision of U.S. dollar liquidity
For release at 5:00 p.m. EDT
https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20230319a.htm
The Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, and the Swiss National Bank are today announcing a coordinated action to enhance the provision of liquidity via the standing U.S. dollar liquidity swap line arrangements...

Is this 2008, but much worse?
 
Time will tell how this compares to 2008. I haven’t studied these bank failures but if they were deep in crypto, I don’t feel sorry for them. (Remember that 2022 Super Bowl commercial for Crypto? Many of the actors have distanced themselves for that hurriedly.).
I do remember in 2008, the company I was involved with did about $1 million in sales/day. A bad day was $200,000. For 3 consecutive days, in 2008, we had zero net sales. The loan/credit market was vapor locked.
Currently a lot of companies and banks are sitting on a bunch of cash and ready to pounce as businesses go insolvent or can be bought cents on the dollar. Several M&A consulting firms are already scouring for deal making.
