There was fear and uncertainty around Silvergate’s stability after crypto lender BlockFi filed for bankruptcy following FTX meltdown. With news of exposure to the lending company, Silvergate stock price went down after the bankruptcy announcement. At the time, the bank said it had minimal exposure to BlockFi. The stakes were considered to be high for the bank given that around 90% of its deposits are related to crypto industry.

In this context, the Silvergate Capital stock price went down heavily in pre-market hours. As of writing, the Silvergate stock price is down by around 29%, losing around $6 in value.
