Banking troubles are rocking crypto markets. What’s next?
, but they were recovering by Sunday, March 12. However, it’s unlikely that the Silvergate Bank debacle will cause long-term harm to the crypto sector.
In Latin America, which is primarily a crypto foreign exchange market where many firms buy stablecoins like USDC and Tether as a means of sending funds abroad, “the Silvergate fallout was problematic,” Thiago César, the CEO of fiat on-ramp provider Transfero Group, told Cointelegraph. That said, the Silvergate collapse probably doesn’t present long-term obstacles. “Fundamentally, a bank exiting the crypto industry does not hurt any blockchain, including Bitcoin,” Olszewicz added.Joseph Silvia, partner at law firm Dickinson Wright — and former counsel to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago — views Silvergate Bank’s liquidation more as a “cautionary tale” than a harbinger of tougher times for the crypto sector.
“Silvergate was highly concentrated and had longer duration securities. You can’t do both. You need to pick one. They would have been fine being this concentrated if they didn’t extend out duration on the asset side.” “For crypto, FTX was a big issue not just because of the volume but because of the staggering depth of the fraud and mismanagement. Silvergate appears to have just messed up asset-to-liability matching, which is an age-old problem in banking. It was not that the CEO was stealing billions from the customers.”
Others suggested that U.S. regulators are intent on scaring off traditional banks from doing business with cryptocurrency exchanges. Will it result in crypto firms moving out of the United States, with users going to peer-to-peer transactions as in China, as Samson Mow recently suggested?. The collapse of fiat banking for exchanges will just mean buying/trading goes P2P.March 3, 2023
