Why did signature bank fail

the U.S. Treasury Department said "no losses will be borne by the taxpayer".

According to New York state's Department of Financial Services as of the end of last year the bank had $110.36 billion in assets and $88.59 billion in deposits which been took over by The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

The bank was established in 2001 and was a major player in the crypto market, as almost a quarter of its deposits came from this business sector.

After the panic from SVB , Signature bank was the next to be siezed by the FDIC. 

The FDIC has remained the bank open and mentioned the importance for this move as his goals to save market stability.

US Federal Reserve said “core goal” of the moves was to reassure bank customers they would have their money “to meet payroll to keep their businesses operating, and to make sure households are able to pay the rent or the mortgage or any of their other bills” .

The panic caused to the bank sector peers to fall down as the panic attacked account holders to be worried for thier deposits and called the bank to withdraw.

Most of the deposits of signature banks were from lawfirm and real estate companies and digital assets deposits stands for $16.52B as Signature was one of the innovation leaders in the banking sectors to take deposits of crypto.

In the end of the last year signature bank had $88B uninsured depostis.
