Bitcoin Bursts to $22,000 As Biden Administration Tries to Stop Contagion in U.S. Financial System

Pri a nan Bitcoin (b) is soaring as the Biden Administration races to prevent the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank from triggering a mass exodus at regional banks across the U.S.

The U.S. Treasury Department is conducting a series of emergency meetings to determine whether it should ensure all depositors at SVB will be made whole after the bank’s sudden collapse, rapò Washington Post la.

The outlet cites people with knowledge of the matter who are speaking on internal deliberations at the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and FDIC.

“Federal authorities are seriously considering safeguarding all uninsured deposits at Silicon Valley Bank, weighing an extraordinary intervention to prevent what they fear would be a panic in the U.S. financial system.”

An abrupt, widespread realization that American bank accounts, including corporate accounts, are only insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC has coincided with a sharp reversal in the price of BTC.

Bitcoin has soared from a 24-hour low of $20,334 to a high of $22,111  – an 8.7% increase.

Kreyatè psedonim nan Bitcoin, who went by the name Satoshi Nakamoto, explicitly created the original cryptocurrency as a response and alternative to the modern banking system.

Bitcoin was born out of the 2008 financial crisis, which was the last time American banks and financial institutions crumbled at the expense of everyday citizens.

In creating the world’s first cryptocurrency, Nakamoto aimed to create a monetary system with an inherently scarce supply backed by a transparent and verifiable means of processing and validating transactions without the need for a bank or middleman.

Bitcoin’s inventor described his, her or their creation as an antidote to the modern financial system.

“Pwoblèm rasin ak lajan konvansyonèl yo se tout konfyans ki nesesè pou fè li mache. Bank santral la dwe fè konfyans pa avili lajan an, men istwa a nan lajan fiat plen ak vyolasyon konfyans sa a. Bank yo dwe fè konfyans yo kenbe lajan nou yo epi transfere li elektwonikman, men yo prete li soti nan vag bul kredi ak apèn yon fraksyon nan rezèv. Nou dwe fè yo konfyans ak vi prive nou, fè yo konfyans pou pa kite vòlè idantite vide kont nou yo. Depans jeneral yo fè mikwopeman enposib...

Avèk e-lajan ki baze sou prèv kriptografik, san yo pa bezwen fè yon entèmedyè twazyèm pati konfyans, lajan ka an sekirite epi tranzaksyon yo san efò. 

The crypto industry is battling its own problems with the banking system after the collapse of the crypto-friendly bank Silvergate.

That bank cited regulatory pressures and “recent industry developments” as the reason it decided to close its doors.

Silvergate’s shutdown sparked last week’s downturn in the crypto markets, and the fall of Silicon Valley Bank had direct consequences on the industry as well.

Circle, the company behind the stablecoin USDC, revealed it has $3 billion of its $40 billion in reserves at Silicon Valley Bank. The disclosure led to a crash in the price of USDC, which dropped to as low as $0.84 and is now trading at $0.95 at time of publishing. The firm di it will use its own resources and internal capital to cover the shortfalls.

The CEO of the world’s largest crypto exchange by volume, Changpeng Zhao, warns any stablecoin tied to the banking system could face similar problems in the future.

Bank yo se yon risk pou fiat-te apiye pyès monnen ki estab.
