Silvergate Underestimates Crypto Volatility, Sells $5.2 Billion In Assets

US bank Silvergate customers withdrew over $8bn of their crypto related deposits. Silvergate had to sell $5.2bn in assets after this incident.

Banks must be aware that holding Crypto assets and remaining liquid for customers is different to holding fiat currency for customers. People use fiat more often for neccessities and banks understand how the withdrawals work for this kind of asset. In Crypto, people have already made the investment to buy the Crypto and are ready to make more risky and sudden movements with their assets when they feel like it. Crypto assets need a higher percentage of liquidity at hand.

The withdrawals followed the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange, and the Crypto winter, which last year was the last 3 months of 2022.

Before entering Cryptocurrency in 2019, Silvergate was only a smaller bank in the US, but grew 1,500% by 2021. Today in 2023, they have laid off 40% (200) of their employees to deal with the major Crypto withdrawals.
