Silvergate: Fall of a Premiere Crypto Bank

Silvergate Stock Down by Nearly 40%

Silvergate Fall of a Premiere Crypto Bank

What's next for Alan Lane and Silvergate?

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The collateral damage from the collapse of FTX is still being felt across the markets as yet another major bank falls prey to the FTX collapse. Sam Bankman-Fried and his cronies are now responsible for yet another teardown of one of the most respected banks in the crypto industry, Silvergate. 

Just this week, Silvergate stock was down by nearly 40% in premarket trading following a business update released on Thursday. In the update, the La Jolla, California company said crypto deposits had dropped to just $3.8 billion in the final three months of last year, compared to almost $12 billion in the prior quarter. 

Following the collapse of FTX and the resulting domino effect of failures across the crypto ecosystem, Silvergate said $150 million of its deposits were from customers that have filed for bankruptcy. 

The News About Silvergate Keeps Getting Worse

“This past year was a much more widespread deleveraging of the ecosystem that obviously culminated with the collapse of FTX,” Alan Lane, chief executive of Silvergate, said on a call following the announcement.

“When you put all of that in context, what we have seen is a lot of institutional players—there’s just been this crisis of confidence.” 

Now the bank has announced that it will lay off 200 employees, roughly 40% of its workforce. In a statement issued to the stock market on Thursday, Silvergate said it had increased headcount “at a rapid rate” last year but now needed to adjust to the “economic realities facing the digital asset industry today.” 

Will The Layoffs Be Enough to Save Silvergate?

The layoffs will cost $8 million to complete, but Lane said it was “too early” to say how much money they would save the company. 

The group will also abandon certain projects, including its plans for a blockchain-based payment solution. The decision means it will take a $196 million write-down on technology it purchased from Meta’s failed Diem project. 

“There are still people on the project,” Lane said in regard to Diem. “As we sit here today, we will obviously have to continue to evaluate.” 

Lane added that in the current operating environment, “it’s going to be really challenging to bring a tokenized dollar… to market anytime soon.

Silvergate had already exited a mortgage warehouse lending business late last year due to rising interest rates and falling mortgage volumes. 

“At this point, we’re not able to comment on whether the first quarter will actually be profitable,”

He described where the company’s deposits will be in the future as a “wild card.” 

Collapsed crypto exchange FTX accounted for around $1 billion of the assets held by Silvergate from digital asset customers by the end of 2022’s third quarter. 

But this did not stop analysts from Morgan Stanley from downgrading their rating on the business last month, as they predicted a slump in deposits amid the FTX fallout.

How Will the Lawsuit Play Out?

The company has also found itself on the receiving end of a class-action lawsuit alleging that it breached its fiduciary duty with respect to deposits made by FTX and its sister firm Alameda Research. Other law firms are also putting together possible legal action. 

“There’s a lot of FUD out there, a lot of misinformation, but we are a regulated financial institution operating in this space for nine years, so we obviously take our responsibility very seriously.”
