What You Need To Know About SVB, Silvergate & Signature Bank Collapses (In 7 Minutes) | How Money Works
How Money WorksSummary
The recent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) marks a significant event in the banking sector, being the largest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis. SVB, known for its focus on startups and venture capitalists, faced severe challenges due to rising interest rates. As the bank struggled to maintain deposits, it was forced to sell its treasury bonds at a loss, leading to a liquidity crisis. The situation escalated when venture capitalists advised their portfolio companies to withdraw funds, triggering a bank run that prompted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to intervene.
In contrast, Silvergate Bank, which catered primarily to cryptocurrency clients, also faced liquidation after its exposure to the volatile crypto market led to significant losses. The bank's ties to the now-defunct FTX platform and the overall decline in trust within the crypto sector contributed to its downfall. Both banks highlight the vulnerabilities in niche banking sectors, particularly when economic conditions shift rapidly, underscoring the importance of effective risk management in financial institutions.
The FDIC has assured that all deposits at SVB will be protected, exceeding the usual insurance limits, while also indicating that similar measures will be taken for Signature Bank, another institution with significant crypto exposure. This dual collapse raises questions about the stability of banks that serve specialized markets and the broader implications for the financial system.

Most new businesses fail so traditional banks aren’t going to lend to any company that can’t show consistent profits or put up adequate security. Just like Silvergate saw a gap in the market to serve risky crypto traders Silicon Valley Bank saw a gap to serve new start-ups. ------- Edited By: Andrew Gonzales Patrick Boyle's video at 1:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxcwn7xoXhU&t=163s Music Courtesy of: Epidemic Sound Select Footage Courtesy of: Getty Images For sponsorship inquiries, please contact [email protected] All materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

He was the OG personal finance personality. Cramer has by all accounts had a very successful career, according to his own records his hedge fund returned 24% annualised returns over his 14 years managing the fund, which netted him around TEN MILLION dollars a year in take home pay. His experience on wall street and strong personality made him a great pick to host a TV show which has performed very well over the years it has been on air, even if it’s not for the best reasons. The show runners and Cramer himself have said that the stocks they discuss should not become a major part of a viewer’s portfolio and that people’s life savings should be made up of a low-risk diverse selection of stocks, bonds and real estate. But this sounds familiar, doesn’t it? This is just the TV show version of, “hashtag not financial advice”. It’s difficult to watch, because a confident looking man that positions themselves as an authority on the subject talking about how a stock is about to make everybody rich is going to make some people buy in no matter how many disclaimers are made. His catch phrase is “I just want to make you money” ----- #howmoneyworks #finance #investing Edited By: Andrew Gonzales Music Courtesy of: Epidemic Sound Select Footage Courtesy of: Getty Images For sponsorship inquiries, please contact [email protected] All materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Instead of just looking at GDP per capita which calculates how much the average person in an economy produces in market output every year, this report attempted to calculate the net worth of those people to see how good they were at accumulating wealth over time. Someone with a high income that is spending everything they make on rent and overpriced food isn’t going to grow their wealth as quickly as someone who has a more modest income, but is paying off their own home and is investing diligently into retirement accounts. I like to call this the San Fran Tech Bro Conjecture. But according to these annual reports the Australian people always looked like that second group of slower more deliberate wealth builders. Their raw income isn’t as high as here in America, but they were consistently some of the wealthiest people on the planet. UBS, which absorbed Credit Suisse following its collapse, recently released the 2024 report and once again Australians had the second highest MEDIAN net worth on the planet. They only fell behind Luxembourg which is a European Micronation which you are probably not in the tax bracket to even be aware of. The fact that this report tracks the MEDIAN instead of the average net worth is also really important. This means that the Australian right in the middle of a line up from richest to poorest is more than TWICE as rich as an American in the same position… Follow to learn How Money Works.

Buy Now Pay Later companies now have over half a trillion dollars worth of debt on their books according to estimates from industry groups. An exact number is harder to track than something like total credit card debt because these companies are not required to record their lending practices in the same way. Either way this is an especially concerning amount of money because by design “buy now pay later” “loans” SHOULD only last for eight weeks before they are paid off in a predictable instalment plan. But new research (and company confessions) have revealed what you probably already knew… people aren’t really paying off their Klarna account, they are just using it as a new way to make their month go a little bit further at the end of their money… Most of the largest Buy Now Pay Later companies are barely ten years old now, but in that time they have been able to scale rapidly thanks to a combination of generous investor funding, a tech bro attitude towards regulations, and a service that was appealing to people who didn’t want to go through a formal credit application process… for whatever reason… The argument was that these companies weren’t giving out loans… They were just letting people split up their purchase into smaller payments made over a set time period, and if everything was done properly the users wouldn’t even need to pay interest. But now after giving out quick, easy “not-loans” to anybody who could download an app, the companies are pulling a shocked Pikachu that their “not-debt” is NOT getting paid back. Now consumer debt defaults are on the rise everywhere, but BNPL has its own risks that could make this a whole lot worse than people not being able to split their Costco hotdog into 4 easy payments.

If Donald Trump serves his entire term he will be the oldest president in history… after replacing the oldest president in history… And don’t worry we are not alone, the leaders of the two most populous countries in the world India and China are also 74 and 71 respectively. The AVERAGE person living in the world today is on AVERAGE ruled over by someone FORTY years older than them… and it all happened because of a few small demographic changes… So how did old people take over the world?
