Silvergate Bank, a crypto bank and fintech firm that rose to popularity over the years, has failed to survive the prevailing crypto winter due to its exposure to the bankruptcy crypto exchange FTX. Silvergate Capital Corporation, the company behind the crypto bank, has announced that it will “voluntarily liquidate” the fintech firm because it seems like the best path for the firm looking at the current crypto market situation and regulatory developments.
Laut einer Bekanntmachung on March 8, Silvergate Capital Corporation has decided to close the bank “in light of recent industry and regulatory developments” and multiple crypto companies reducing their exposure to the crypto bank. Many firms also scaled back their partnerships with the bank, including Coinbase, Paxos, Gemini, BitStamp, and Galaxy Digital.
Die Krypto-Community auf Twitter sah dies kommen, da vielen Mitarbeitern Briefe überreicht wurden, um sich auf die sofortige Schließung des Unternehmens vorzubereiten. Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass die Silvergate Capital Corporation kürzlich auch eine beträchtliche Anzahl von Mitarbeitern entlassen hat, wie Bitnation zuvor berichtete. Die Muttergesellschaft der Bank entließ 40% seiner Belegschaft, oder rund 200 Mitarbeiter.
The Nasdaq-listed company also scrapped its ambitions to introduce a digital currency and wrote off the $196 million associated with its purchase of Diem Association’s technology and assets from META. At that time, the company said it now has to adapt to the “economic realities facing the digital asset industry today.”
On the other hand, Silvergate Bank’s “wind down and liquidation plan includes full repayment of all deposits,” according to the announcement, which adds that the company is “considering how best to resolve claims and preserve the residual value of its assets, including its proprietary technology and tax assets.”
Darüber hinaus bestätigte Silvergate Capital auch, dass Centerview Partners LLC als Finanzberater fungiert, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP als Rechtsberater fungiert und Strategic Risk Associates beim Liquidationsprozess Unterstützung beim Übergangsprojektmanagement leistet, was der einzige Weg zu sein scheint damit das Unternehmen seine Zukunft sichert.
Es scheint, dass sich die Vorhersage des erfahrenen Leerverkäufers Marc Cohodes, der seit letztem Jahr für seine Angriffe auf das an der Nasdaq notierte Unternehmen bekannt ist, bewahrheitet hat. Wie bereits von Bitnation berichtet, hat Cohodes dies vorhergesagt Die Silvergate Bank wird in einer Woche zusammenbrechen, adding that the company “is a publicly traded crime scene” and that the CEO of the company, Alan Lane, belongs in prison.
Additionally, the company also shut down its digital asset payments network, the Silvergate Exchange Network (SEN), adding that the termination was a “risk-based decision.” This sparked rumors of liquidation in the crypto space. Interestingly, United States Judge Michael B. Kaplan ordered the bank to return $9,850,000 deposited by BlockFi, a bankrupt crypto lender that had exposure to FTX.
Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass das Unternehmen sogar Treffen mit Beamten der Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to prevent a possible liquidation. The officials visited the company’s headquarters last week and dug deep into the records and books of the crypto firm to come up with a possible solution.
