😢 feeling unconfident

• silvergate capital (SI 0.00), the parent company of silvergate bank (a crypto lender), announced that it is delaying its earnings

• silvergate capital told the sec that it will not be able to file its 10-k (annual filing for 2022) by march 16

❓ what’s happening?

• major crypto companies (i.e. coinbase, galaxy digital, circle, paxos, bitstamp, etc.) "stopped accepting or initiating payments to or from silvergate"

• silvergate filed on wednesday that it is "currently analyzing certain regulatory and other inquiries and investigations"

  • a.k.a. selling additional securities beyond what was previously anticipated = potentially unabe to meet its liquidity standards

💣 the aftermath

• SI 0.00 sank more than 55% on thursday and is down 67% ytd as of writing

• bitcoin's down 6% in the past two days

• other relevant tickers like COIN 0.00 (coinbase) sank 10% briefly on thursday, but has recovered since then
