𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 from @barsoapguy - maybe that $5.4bn was pulled from $SIVB and moved to BNY, thus hastening the collapse of SVB? Or maybe just ~$2.4bn if they sold off $3bn worth of treasuries?
Here's another thought - $SBNY on the earnings call stated they wanted to get their deposits in line such that no individual depositor had more than 2% of the total deposits.
That's $1.8bn they should be allowing @circle to deposit, but apparently it's not actually there.

folks who still believe the noise about $SIVB just being duration mismatch: have you considered this?
get depositor money →
lend VC cash →
VC funds co. →
VC requires co. keep deposits at $SIVB →
voila! yr loan is now a deposit in yr bank
...which you can lend out again
look at the $SIVB balance sheet anon. here I'll make it easy for you:
🧵 When $60 billion in Ponzi scheme loans to tech bros & crypto crooks go bad (and we'll know how bad once the auction prices come out) who foots the bill anon?
Every American with a bank account will. Maybe not in taxes, but in bank charges. #VentureSocialism
And big ups to @crypto1nfern0 who helped me gather all the information for the original FUD piece in December and much FUD since then. Couldn't have done it w/out you.

$USDC trading between $0.88 and $0.95 on exchanges like #Kraken, #ByBit, #Gemini, et al. (it doesn't trade on #Coinbase who have merged USD and USDC)
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.
🧵2/Ω
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.
🧵3/Ω
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.
The joke is even more of a $RIOT when you realize that #RiotBlockchain **already** had to amend their 2021 numbers with the SEC because they "forgot" about all the money they spent acquiring a couple of 9 figure businesses. see where it says "amendment" on SEC page:
