Banking Crisis Effect on Crypto

notablyThe Bloomberg report highlights just how impactful the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank could have been for several companies, particularly Circle, which held $3.3 billion in the bank.

SVB’s collapse shook crypto investors’ confidence in Circle’s USDC. Since the incident, USDC’s circulating supply dropped to $28.18 billion from a peak of over $44 billion.

Before the banking crisis, several federal agencies had warned banks about the liquidity risks crypto poses to the banking industry. The fears were later exacerbated by the collapse of three crypto-friendly banks during a very short period.

Since then, several crypto firms have struggled for new banking partners. For context, Binance.US struggled to find new banking partners before its showdown with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The current unfavorable regulatory environment has forced the firm to transition to a crypto-only exchange.

Meanwhile, some crypto stakeholders have argued that the government used the banking crisis to restrict crypto access to banking infrastructure.
