Game Over: FDIC Shutters Silicon Valley Bank, Appoints Receiver

Update (1135ET): Game over for Silicon Valley bank.

*FDIC: SVB BANK CLOSED BY CALIFORNIA REGULATOR *FDIC: SVB BANK IS FIRST INSURED INSTITUTION TO FAIL THIS YEAR *FDIC CREATES A DEPOSIT INSURANCE NATIONAL BANK OF SANTA CLARA *FDIC: NAMED FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE FDIC AS RECEIVER *FDIC CREATES A DEPOSIT INSURANCE NATIONAL BANK OF SANTA CLARA *SILICON VALLEY BANK INSURED DEPOSITORS TO HAVE ACCESS MONDAY

As we noted before, while the FDIC noted that SVIB had $175BN in deposits as of Dec 31, note that some $151.5BN of these are uninsured, which means they get exactly zero although a sizable number of them likely pulled their deposits in the past few days.

And just like that SVB is no more: a historic collapse which in many ways was faster than Lehman, and which has seen SIVB stock plunge from $763 to 0 in 16 months.
