Let’s not forget the nearly unprecedented interest rate hikes by the fed almost 5 points in a year, or the 2018 increase in interest the size of bank required to have a resolution plan thereby exempting SVB or Peter Thiel’s call to withdraw $ I would have labeled the raising of the size required for a resolution plan as greed by SVB but the fed had no problems resolving SVB so it clearly wasn’t too big to fail. If the fed continues to raise I’d guess we will see more bank failures

> Let’s not forget the nearly unprecedented interest rate hikes by the fed almost 5 points in a year I'm not an expert in this area, but in what way is this true? Interest rates are still quite low by historical standards. The 80s saw massive increases to a much higher level (approaching 20%) in a shorter amount of time. There were large jumps in the late 60s and early 70s as well.
