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.

#Binance is the largest crypto exchange in the world with a daily volume of over $15 billion, 10x bigger than the second. It's considered the safest for trading and storing #crypto assets, but is it truly #SAFU? #crypto #trading

Binance, founded by @cz_binance in 2017, has its origins in China. Due to the government's ban on #crypto, it had to move its headquarters to Japan. However, as Japan also started to implement stricter regulations for #crypto, Binance had to move again, this time to Malta. (2/?)
On Feb 21, 2020, the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) announced that @binance does not have an operating license. Binance has also been investigated multiple times by the IRS and the US Department of Justice on charges of money laundering.

#binance #playbook wasn't just used by #binance. It was literally cookie cut by #FTX

It was until I saw @AureliusValue link to Miami Dade County, Florida's resolution for #FTX's stadium rights (Mar 2021) that the penny dropped.
When you look at the disclosed beneficial ownership of FTX, FTX.US its undeniable that CZ was a material shareholder.
