Again you're confusing bank and crypto. They wouldn't need to have their deposits increase. They would need to increase their capital. They weren't underwater before the bank run, they were undercapitalized. Which would mean that whoever would enter, would get a big chunk of their stock, but he would still have a good deal. Banks don't need increasing or decreasing deposits. They need stable and predictable deposits. They know how fast you burn cash, so they know what flows to expect from you and how much of your money they get to invest and for what duration. SVB failed to predict the Fed, but there's no way they survived this long without knowing how to plan around cash burning startups, that's their bread and butter. What made finding a buyer impossible is that their deposit base showed their unpredictability. And they have done tremendous damage to startups and banking relations after this. Finding banks is going to be much harder as a startup after this debacle, whether you're part of this bank run or not.
