Silicon Valley Bankβs 48-hour collapse led to the second-largest failure of a financial institution in US history.
SVB was one of Americaβs 20 largest commercial banks and is now under the control of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation after it became unable to pay back customers who withdrew their deposits.
Though experts quelled fears of a wider contagion, the bankβs collapse could have significant ramifications on the startup and tech sectors.
