Signature Bank's Collapse Fueled by Crypto Bets and Run on ... (The New York Times)

Signature Bank, a New York financial institution with a big real estate lending business that had recently made a play to win cryptocurrency deposits, ...

Regulatory filings show that more than $79 billion, or close to nine-tenths, of Signature Bank’s roughly $88 billion in deposits were uninsured at the end of last year. But on Friday, with customers panicking about their money, Signature saw a torrent of deposits leaving its coffers, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. “Result was the same in a deposit run.” The bank also said its digital asset-related client deposits stood at $16.52 billion. One of Signature’s specialties was financing the purchase of taxi medallions, which authorize holders to operate cabs. The bank long specialized in providing banking services to law firms, providing escrow accounts for holding client money and other services. As word about Silicon Valley Bank’s troubles began to spread last week, business customers of Signature began calling the bank, asking if their deposits were safe. In shuttering the bank, New York bank regulators, acting in concert with the F.D.I.C., also removed its executive team. To some extent, Signature is a victim of the panic around Silicon Valley Bank, which regulators seized on Friday. Many were worried that their deposits could be at risk because, like business customers of Silicon Valley, most had more than $250,000 in their accounts. Similarly, Signature became one of the few banks to welcome cryptocurrency deposits, just before the overheated industry blew up last year. Its closing underscores the challenges that face small and midsize banks, which often focus on niche lines of business and have a narrower base of customers than Goliaths like JPMorgan Chase or Bank of America.
