Since the crash of FTX caused massive withdrawals of deposits, Silvergate had a steady stream of problems last year.  As FTX failed, customers withdrew more than $8 billion in deposits from Silvergate. The withdrawal was a factor that led to Silvergate’s loss of nearly $ 1 billion over the previous three months of 2022. Besides, the bank also had trouble with legal authorities during the investigation because of its relationship close to FTX and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried.
