In a separate move, crypto-friendly bank Signature was shut over the weekend, less than a week after the closure of another California-based bank, Silvergate. The three defunct banks were known for being crypto-friendly financial institutions. “In the near term, this could add to the increased regulatory scrutiny on crypto and the banking rails that serve crypto, and closer scrutiny of crypto’s contribution to systemic risk,” shared Ramani Ramachandran, co-founder and CEO of Router Protocol, in a message to CoinDesk.
Elsewhere, Jonathan Zeppettini, strategy Lead at Decred, said:"The situation with Silvergate, Silicon Valley Bank, and Signature is a combination of a few things; banks failing to properly hedge interest rate risk, a classic bank run stemming from that illiquidity as they are forced to realize losses if they do not hold those assets to maturity, and opportunism by regulators to force the unwind of banks that are seen as"crypto-friendly.
