By Leave a Comment

Signature Bank, another major crypto-friendly institution, was shut down by regulators on Sunday. The New York financial institution, with a large lending business in the crypto industry, was caught in the “crossfire” of regulators to prevent the spreading banking crisis.

Yesterday, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) stated that keeping the bank open could “threaten the stability of the entire financial system.” Similar to what was done to ensure depositors at the failed Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), regulators stated that the crypto-friendly Signature Bank would have full access to their deposits. The Fed said:  Read more...
