La comunità delle criptovalute è scettica riguardo alle capacità operative della famosa banca di criptovalute, Silvergate, le cui azioni sono crollate di oltre 50% nelle ultime settimane dopo che la società ha annunciato che avrebbe rinviato la presentazione del suo rapporto finanziario annuale 10-K, portando alla industria mettendo in discussione le sue capacità finanziarie. È interessante notare che un rapporto afferma che la società fintech è in trattative con i funzionari della Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) per prevenire un possibile guasto. 

Secondo un rapporto Bloomberg del 7 marzo, la FDIC, una società governativa degli Stati Uniti responsabile del mantenimento della solidità, della sicurezza e della protezione dei consumatori delle società e delle società bancarie che operano negli Stati Uniti. È stato creato durante la Grande Depressione per ripristinare la fiducia dei consumatori americani nel sistema bancario statunitense. 

Bloomberg stated that as per people familiar with the matter, Silvergate is in talks with the FDIC to discuss ways that can be introduced to improve the company’s conditions and prevent a possible collapse.

The report also confirms that several officials arrived at the headquarters of the fintech firm last week to check Silvergate’s records and books and dig deep into the company’s finances. It is crucial to note that the sources told Bloomberg that a decision has yet to be made by the executives and directors to deal with the company’s financial strife. 

According to the sources, the involvement of the FDIC in the financial matters of Silvergate does not mean that the company is incapable of fixing its finances on its own. The company lost the confidence of its partners and investors when it stated that it would postpone its 10-K filing, adding that it was evaluating the impact” of market volatility and several high-profile bankruptcies in 2022 on “its ability to continue as a going concern” over the next 12+ months. 

The fintech firm added that it needs more time “to allow its independent registered public accounting firm to complete certain audit procedures, including the review of adjustments not yet recorded and the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.”

D'altra parte, i grandi nomi dell'industria delle criptovalute come Tether, MicroStrategy, Circle, Bitstamp, Galaxy Digital, Coinbase e Paxos hanno preso le distanze da Silvergate, mentre diverse aziende hanno ridimensionato le loro partnership, tra cui Crypto.com, Blockchain.com, Wintermute , GSR e Cboe Digital. 

Furthermore, as reported earlier by Bitnation, veteran short seller Marc Cohodes has predicted that Silvergate will die within a week while sharing pictures of the firm’s deserted office. Cohodes said that “Silvergate is a publicly traded crime scene” and added that the CEO of the company, Alan Lane, belongs in prison.

La scorsa settimana, l'azienda ha annunciato che lo avrebbe fatto close its digital assets’ payment network, the Silvergate Exchange Network (SEN), adding that the termination is a “risk-based decision.” The California-based company also confirmed a loss of close to $1 billion in its Q4 2022 report and also laid off employees.
