Silicon Valley Bank Shut Down in Biggest Bank Failure Since the Global Financial Crisis

On Friday, the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) shut down Silicon Valley Bank and took control of its assets, reports Reuters.

The decline of the 16th largest bank in the US stems partly from the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes over the past year.

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is the second largest in US history and the largest bank to fail since the financial crisis in 2008.
