SVB and Silvergate Tumult Has Echoes in Texas Bank Crisis

Both crypto and venture capital booms were children of the ultra-low rates of the past decade and a half. Now, rising rates and the shrinking of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet have burst those industry bubbles and increased the competition among banks for funding.

Anyone with spare cash is increasingly aware that they can earn something on it without taking much risk, which is another reason for people to move money out of a smaller lender concentrated in digital businesses, if they haven’t already.
