Not every financial company should be structured as a bank, thereby accepting deposits, intermediating funds across markets, and reporting capital adequacy ratios using the @BIS guidelines.
This is the lesson I derive from the #SVBCollapse
#SVBCrash
@Bis What is the point of pasting SVB CAR and Capital Ratio Metrics?
What sense could one derive from them before the run began?
They didn't reveal the full picture to the creditors, depositors, or shareholders.
CAR is a metric which exemplifies loss absorption capacity

We need to revert to the Glass Steagall Act to understand economic history.

SEC Chair Gary Gensler & Senator Elizabeth Warren launched operation Chokepoint 2.0 somewhere in late 2022.

Chokepoint 2.0 is an operation aimed at crypto companies and getting them unbanked.

In early 2023, the Chokepoint operation harassed the Silvergate bank and its customers, which caused a bankrun and the shutdown of Silvergate.
