The Silvergate Capital Corporation is responsible for placing one of the most significant bets on the cryptocurrency market in the United States. Now it is struggling from a run on deposits and a large loss, which has intensified worries that the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX will leak deeper into the financial system. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to Jared Shaw, an analyst at Wells Fargo & Co., the very worst situation appears to have been realized for Silvergate.<\/p>\n

FTX Scam After-Effects Continue To Disrupt Market<\/b><\/h2>\n

Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto empire came tumbling down last month, and his capture in the Bahamas and deportation to the United States sent shockwaves across the crypto sector. The crisis, which resulted in billions of dollars in losses, has prompted calls for observers to avoid future catastrophes, despite assurances from federal authorities that the larger financial system is unaffected.<\/p>\n

Investors are spooked and US regulators have taken notice of the failures because of worries that certain financial institutions may have moved too hastily and aggressively into the cryptocurrency market. <\/span><\/p>\n

Silvergate has announced it would be laying off employees and ending one of its cryptocurrency projects. That came in the same week as a warning from three main US regulators to lenders that unchecked risks cannot be allowed to taint the financial system and that the agencies will move slowly when sanctioning any new enterprises.<\/p>\n

According to Sultan Meghji, a former chief innovation officer at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, all banks with ties to cryptocurrency will likely face increased oversight from examination teams in light of the regulators’ joint statement and the issues that have arisen from FTX’s relationships. He believes there is a strong drive to get crypto fully removed from the US financial system, regardless of whether this has been officially declared.<\/p>\n

Feds to Investors: “Control Risk”<\/b><\/h2>\n

This week, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency all chimed in, stressing the need of halting the spread of unmanageable risks into the banking sector. <\/span><\/p>\n

Representatives for the Federal Reserve and the OCC both refused to provide information on Silvergate, while an FDIC spokesperson indicated that the agency does not comment on actively running institutions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Silvergate’s plight is a warning to other lenders who could be tempted to enter the digital asset market as a source of profit. Bank of New York Mellon Corporation said in October that it will develop a digital-asset platform in the US to allow select clients to keep and transfer Bitcoin and Ether, despite the fact that most of the largest banks in the country have resisted entering the market. <\/span><\/p>\n

The services provided by the custody bank are distinct from those provided by Silvergate, which acts only as a deposit bank.<\/p>\n

According to Wells Fargo’s Jared Shaw, who recently said at a conference that the banks will be more cautious in their efforts to seek clarification from regulators because of the volatility in cryptocurrency, which is reflected in Silvergate’s performance.<\/p>\n

Shares of Silvergate fell after the bank reported laying off 40 percent of its workforce and a loss of $718 million from the sale of securities and related derivatives to cover client withdrawals of $8.1 billion in digital-asset deposits during the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

The Occurrences That Surprised Crypto Investors<\/b><\/h2>\n

Following are the 3 catastrophic events that have caused tremendous damage to the crypto market:<\/p>\n

Price Signals <\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

On November 8 of the year 2021, the price of Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of almost $69,000. Nevertheless, the large cryptocurrency caused a structural change in the market by creating a lower bottom on the weekly period at $33,000 on January 24. This action marked the beginning of the current bear market.<\/p>\n

Terra-Luna-3AC Downfall<\/b><\/h3>\n

In May, the price of Bitcoin began to decline slowly, and it was soon followed by the collapse of the algorithmic stablecoin Terra and its components. Within two weeks, the value of Bitcoin (BTC) dropped by 30% as a result of this action. The abrupt drop from around $30,000 to $17,600 was caused by the untimely downfall of the overleveraged crypto hedge firm Three Arrows Capital (3AC), which triggered the meltdown.<\/p>\n

FTX Scam<\/b><\/h3>\n

The FTX platform and its affiliated companies filing for bankruptcy is the most significant and latest catastrophe in the crypto sector. Binance’s creator, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), was responsible for the downfall of Sam Bankman-Fried’s business. <\/span><\/p>\n

Following these three occurrences, the price of Bitcoin fell by 80 percent from its peak.<\/p>\n
