🧵 @CrossRiverBank is technically owned by #CRBGroup (seems like it's not the same as @CRBgrp?), a holding company in Fort Lee, NJ. Apparently #JoannaAlbertine is the CFO.

Let's talk about Metropolitan Community Bank (@MCBankNY, $MCB) one of the remaining publicly traded "crypto-friendly banks. Because the SEC filings look a lot like a mini-me version of our friend $SBNY.

$MCB has $2.2 billion - 42%! - in uninsured, non-interest bearing accounts.
In other words someone is willing to set $132 million a year on 🔥 because of inflation just to hold money in $MCB.
Why?
(note that $SIVB and $SBNY also had large non-interest bearing accounts)

$MCB also of course has large unrecognized losses due to the "duration mismatch" problem that rekt $SI and $SIVB ¹.

ELI5: Why did #SilvergateBank / $SI just implode?
I realize some people may be wondering WTF just happened so here's the unannotated short version...
The story begins when $SI, a small regional bank, decided to go full crypto.

A bunch of crypto companies used $SI to hold user deposits, stablecoin backing, etc - $USD cash. As it got more crypto customers it grew - $SI went from being a small bank to a medium bank, holding IIRC ~$15 billion in customer deposits.

Since it had all this cash around $SI execs decided to invest it in a very safe asset: US Treasury bills. Basically they loaned the government of the United States money in exchange for interest plus guarantee of getting it back in N years.
