ELI5: Why did #SilvergateBank / $SI just implode?

I realize some people may be wondering WTF just happened so here's the unannotated short version...

The story begins when $SI, a small regional bank, decided to go full crypto.
🧵2/Ω
A bunch of crypto companies used $SI to hold user deposits, stablecoin backing, etc - $USD cash. As it got more crypto customers it grew - $SI went from being a small bank to a medium bank, holding IIRC ~$15 billion in customer deposits.
🧵3/Ω
Since it had all this cash around $SI execs decided to invest it in a very safe asset: US Treasury bills. Basically they loaned the government of the United States money in exchange for interest plus guarantee of getting it back in N years.

Now that #JosephDePaolo has suddenly resigned as CEO of $SBNY under a cloud of money laundering/fraud related smoke (he banked #Binance under a nonexistent Seychelles company which is illegal) here's a recording of an earnings call where he claims to not know who FTX is.
🧵2/Ω
In the aftermath of the #FTXplosion DePaolo, one of two CEOs of "crypto friendly" banks in the United States, would like you to believe that he has no idea what this "#FTX" thing is.

SBF was easily the most famous dude in finance at that moment and a CUSTOMER AT HIS BANK
🧵3/Ω
Maybe he really was that clueless. Would explain how so much #Binance money got laundered through his bank and how $SBNY ended up being #Tether's banker.

"The company FTX, in its bankruptcy filing appears to have held tens-of-billions in American “military aid” to Ukraine."
@CGasparino @SBF_FTX @FoxBusiness "According to Turner, it seems that Ukraine was receiving money from the US, and then sent it to FTX, and FTX sent it to the same Democrats, who had originally voted to send it to Ukraine. "

#FTX owned an $11.5M stake in a tiny rural bank in Washington state with just 3 employees
Farmington State Bank in the state of Washington (Farmington town has 146 people), now renamed Moonstone, is the 26th smallest bank in the US.
It has a single branch and 3 employees.
2/
#FTX invested in the rural bank through Alameda, with an investment of $11.5M for 10% of the bank in its parent company FBH in March 2022.
The #AlamedaResearch investment was more than double the bank’s value of $5.7M.
3/
To put this into perspective #FTX’s investment valued the bank at $115M. Yet, it only had $10M in customer deposits
Why did they do that?

1/ Negli ultimi giorni c’è molto timore dietro i token wrapped di Bitcoin. Ho già sollevato qualche qualche giorno fa la questione di wBTC, ma facciamo un piccolo recap perché ci sono delle cose che DEVI sapere!

🧵
2/ C’è una forte incertezza dietro al token #renBTC per via del suo legame con #alamedaresearch. Ma, a differenza di #wBTC possiamo vedere che il suo valore è ancora peggato, sostanzialmente perché c’è ancora il collaterale a sostenerne il prezzo

3/ La bancarotta di #alameda ha prosciugato le casse del team che sta dietro il progetto. Per questo chiuderà l’attuale versione di #ren in favore di una sorta di #renDAO. Qui @renprotocol ci spiega tutti i dettagli:

My tinfoil hat started tingling, so let's take a closer look at Sam Bankman-Fried (CEO of #FTX) and Caroline Ellison (CEO of #AlamedaResearch).

#SBF_FTX #CarolineEllison

1/n ImageImage
Sam's father, Joseph Bankman, is a lawyer and Professor of Law and Business at Stanford Law School.

He's also a tax expert. 🤔

#FTX, a crypto exchange valued at $32 Bn went under🥵

$32Bn is INR 250,000 Cr+, i.e., More than HCL Tech and Wipro's valuation 🤯

What happened❓ Let's decode👇
A. Background

Alameda Research was founded in 2017 by Sam Bankman Fried

It was a trading firm in crypto space (think, Zerodha)

Later, Sam built an exchange - FTX, in 2019 (think, Bombay Stock Exchange)
FTX decided to expand its bouquet of services

They starting giving loans to customers

Who bought cryptos on loan and FTX charged interest against that

Later, they decided to bring their own cryptocurrency - FTX Token (#FTT)

1/ So basically SBF was using his own token $FTT as collateral in a flywheel scheme, allegedly misusing/gambling user deposits.

#CoinDesk published #AlamedaResearch's balance sheet which showed the extent they were using $FTT as collateral.
2/ #cz_binance was pushed into selling his $FTT holdings which made everyone question #FTX solvency.

A bankrun started and when everyone tried to withdraw it became clear that #FTX did not have enough funds to cover all the deposits.
3/ I am trying to find another logical explanation different from #FTX gambling with user funds.

Where are the funds if they were simply hodling them for the users? At least according to their ToS.

1/ How many assets does #Alameda have on-chain?

We analyzed 56 addresses starting with "0x" of #Alameda.

The net worth of Alameda is 222.4M USD.

#AlamedaResearch #FTTcrash #FTT #FTX
2/

#Alameda's Address (Net Worth >100,000 USD).

Among #Alameda's 56 addresses:
19 addresses have an net worth over $100,000, and 13 addresses have an net worth over $1 million.

Most of the assets are concentrated in a few addresses.
3/

#Alameda's Assets on Wallet (>100,000 USD).

Excluding stablecoins, $ETH, $BIT and $FTT are worth more than $1M.

You need to focus on these tokens, she may sell at any time.

Also, $SRM, $OP, $MATIC, $MASK, $SAND and $FTM are worth keeping an eye on.
