In a joint statement addressing the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank, the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury announced that state authorities closed the crypto-friendly Signature Bank today.

The authorities stated the depositors in both the banks would be made whole, and the payment would not be borne by taxpayers.
