List of major clients of Silicon valley bank

The shutdown of SVB Financial Group Inc. and its takeover by banking regulators on Friday can be attributed to the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates and dwindling investor appetite for risk.

The development comes as SVB announced a stock sale to shore up its finances, but the plan did not go down well on Wall Street as investors went on a selling spree, triggering a crash in its shares.

Some SVB clients withdrew their money from the bank on the advice of venture capitalists such as Peter Thiel's Future Fund, Reuters reported. That spooked investors such as General Atlantic, which SVB had secured for the stock sale, and the fundraising effort fizzled late Thursday.

Major clients of Silicon valley bank

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), a prominent lender to tech startups such as Pinterest Inc, Shopify Inc., and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc, has caused turmoil in the market due to recent events. Its parent company's stock price plummeted 60% on Thursday, leading to a surge in deposit withdrawals and ultimately causing the 16th largest bank in the US to fail.

Founded 40 years ago, the Silicon Valley Bank, based in Santa Clara, quickly established itself as a key player in American Tech.

It finances start-ups, giants like Shopify or Beyond Meat, the biggest funds on the planet (Andreessen Horowitz in particular), and works with crypto players... In particular, it manages part of the USDC stablecoin reserve of the American Circle, which confirmed to have a little more than 3 billion dollars of reserve blocked in the establishment.

As soon as the information was confirmed, the 2nd largest stablecoin on the planet (36 billion dollars in capitalization) began to rock. The USDC temporarily lost its parity with the dollar. On Saturday morning, it fell a little below $0.90.
