Quick Take

  • Silvergate saw a 70% drop in deposits in Q4, followed by a 90% drop two days later, which coincided with the worst bond performance in over 200 years.
  • This equated to roughly $13 billion in demand deposits being withdrawn in minutes with only $1.4B cash.
  • Silvergate Capital shares are down 44.6% pre-market.
  • The Signature Bank is currently 7% down pre-market and 9% down year-to-date.
