State authorities closed Signature Bank SBNY, -22.87% Sunday, after Silicon Valley Bank was shut down by regulators on Friday in the biggest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis, according to a joint statement by the Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC. All depositors of Signature bank will be made whole, according to the statement. New York-based Signature Bank has been popular among crypto companies, especially after crypto-friendly Silvergate Bank SI, -11.27% said Wednesday it would close its operations. Signature Bank provides deposit services for its clients’ digital assets, but does not invest in, does not trade, does not hold on its own balance sheet or provide custody of digital assets, and does not lend against or make loans collateralized by such assets, the company said.

I hope it does not turn into a bank run,regional banks could be next

it doesn't matter , they will create as many dollars as needed

the main issue here is inflation because the money lost is just replaced by new money. and the originally lost money did not disappear anywhere , it is still there , just with a different owner

Govt said taxpayers do not have to pay,but they do,as FDIC premium will go up and that will pass on to the consumers.
Foreclosed bank employees lose their job,stockholders and bondholders lost their shirts.

Just need to hope it doesn't cause a cascade effect

If it does it will expose all the over leverage and high risk stuff that banks are back doing again.

Time will tell.
