Why did SVB and Signature Bank fail?

SVB and Signature Bank were unusual banks. SVB had an average deposit balance in each account of over $4 million and only 12% of their deposits were FDIC insured. SVB catered to technology start-up businesses and venture capital companies, or VCs. When large depositors lost confidence in the bank and suddenly withdrew their deposits ($42 billion in one day), it created a “bank run.” At some point, the bank ran out of cash needed to continue paying out withdrawals. At that point, SVB failed. Signature Bank, on the other hand, catered to the cryptocurrency industry, which is also risky. Citing systemic risks by their regulators, they were also closed.
