CNBC: Regulators close crypto-focused Signature Bank, citing systemic risk 

U.S. regulators on Sunday shut down New York-based Signature Bank, a big lender in the crypto industry, in a bid to prevent the spreading banking crisis. “We are also announcing a similar systemic risk exception for Signature Bank, New York, New York, which was closed today by its state chartering authority,” Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC said in a joint statement Sunday evening. The banking regulators said depositors at Signature Bank will have full access to their deposits, a similar move to ensure depositors at the failed Silicon Valley Bank will get their money back. “All depositors of this institution will be made whole.

WNU Editor: I sense panic. I also see a number of US banks being ordered to close this week. 

This is not the start of the collapse. The collapse started a long time ago.

Update: You got to check this out. The Signature Bank website is closed "due to maintenance" (link here). It is closed all-right. But not due to maintenance. 

 Update #2: Crypto is going to be impacted by this crisis .... Coinbase had $240B cash balance at Signature Bank, expects full recovery (Alpha).
