Silicon Valley Bank 

Silicon Valley Bank, a lender to major tech startups, collapsed on Friday, causing a global market downturn.

The closure of the bank is believed to be the biggest retail banking failure since the 2008 financial crisis.

The FDIC has taken control of nearly $175 billion in customer deposits and created a new bank, the National Bank of Santa Clara, to hold SVB's assets.

The FDIC assured depositors that they will have full access to insured deposits when branches reopen on Monday and that old bank checks will be honored.

SVB's downfall was caused by a run on deposits and a decrease in startup funding due to the pandemic.

Since this incident, a significant decline in the global market has been observed. On March 10th, the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 all fell by over 1%.
