The bank's collapse was sandwiched between the implosions of crypto-focused Silvergate Bank and Signature Bank (SBNY). While not as focused on crypto as those two firms, Silicon Valley Bank had some high-profile crypto customers, such as stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Financial and blockchain-based digital settlement provider Ripple.
SVB Financial said it has around $2.2 billion in liquidity, about $3.3 billion in bond debt and $3.7 billion of preferred equity outstanding.
The company also specified that SVB Capital and SVB Securities, respectively its venture capital and broker-dealer arms, are not included in the bankruptcy filing.
