Silicon Valley Bank, a major lender to tech startups in California, has been shut down by regulators due to a loss of over $1 billion. This is the biggest banking failure since the 2008 financial crisis, leading to fears of a potential contagion effect. Insured depositors will have full access to insured deposits up to $250,000, but it is uncertain if individuals or small businesses with more than that will get all their money back. Experts are hopeful that this is an isolated incident and not a sign of a broader systemic issue in the banking industry. The author Robert Reich warns about contagion risks, saying the failure of one big bank could tip over others and cause a financial crisis.
