Crypto focused bank and pretty small, even in consideration of historical bank runs



Signature had 100Bn in assets and is the third-largest bank to have failed in US history (after WaMu and SVB).


I was just surprised crypto hasn't caused more carnage in the banks. SBF had more or less made that small bank his and was pumping massive amounts through it. I feel like that couldn't have been the only bank tied up with crypto.


Apologies. Thought it was something else. Much bigger than I thought.


I suspect you’re confusing it with Silvergate, another crypto-focused bank that is in the process of going out of business.
