Breaking: Bidders Want To Buy Silicon Valley Bank In Parts?

Silicon Valley Bank News: After the FDIC auction process for finding a potential buyer for the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) did not yield results over the weekend, another round of auction appears to be in the making. This comes after reports said the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) felt it had more reasons to sell the bank in the context of the larger market impact it had over the last few days. Meanwhile, the crypto market is showing bullish signs as Bitcoin price breached the $26,000 milestone for the first time in about three months.

Earlier, the FDIC was looking to quickly find a buyer for the failed bank amid all the FUD in the market. However, those efforts failed as no real winner came out of the final bids by Sunday.
