Just yesterday Silvergate Bank collapsed. It was the #1 bank in the US for crypto companies. The FTX fallout caused a tidal wave of crypto-related deposits leaving the bank and they were unprepared, apparently having invested the money in bonds that were deep in the red. The Feds stepped in and told them to shut down the bank and repay deposits before things get worse.
(A weird thing about Silvergate is that they bought Facebook's aborted Libra/Diem cryptocurrency tech just last year. It's like there's a curse on Libra.)
