*INVESTORS URGE U.S. REGULATORS TO FIND SILICON VALLEY BANK BUYER AS INDUSTRY FRETS ABOUT CONTAGION -
NEW YORK - Some financial industry executives and investors were growing increasingly concerned on Saturday that the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank could have a domino effect on other U.S. regional banks if regulators did not find a buyer over the weekend to protect uninsured deposits.
With $209 billion in assets, the Santa Clara, California based lender was the 16th largest U.S. bank, making the list of potential buyers who could pull off a deal over a weekend relatively short, they said on condition of anonymity because the situation is in flux. The U.S. Federal Reserve and the FDIC were weighing the creation of a fund that would allow regulators to backstop more deposits at banks that run into trouble, Bloomberg reported.
SPOTLIGHT ON OTHER BANKS Some analysts and prominent investors warned that without a resolution by Monday, other banks could come under pressure if people worried about their deposits.
