Signature Bank (NASDAQ:SBNY) stock continued to fall on Monday as the closing of the bank over the weekend caused concern for investors.

Signature Bank is among the financial companies that regulators have seized in an effort to stop a banking crisis. This comes as SVB Financial’s (NASDAQ:SIVB) Silicon Valley Bank also closes down, and crypto bank Silvergate Capital (NYSE:SI) fails.

The government’s part in this includes a bailout to ensure customers of Signature Bank are able to withdraw funds. That extends to both insured and uninsured money held at the financial institution.

However, Signature Bank’s situation isn’t quite the same as SVB Financial and Silvergate Capital’s. J. Austin Campbell, an adjunct professor of Columbia Business School, said the following about the news to Bloomberg:

“What happened at Silvergate and SVB was a very traditional bank failure. This, unless there was a bigger run on deposits than we know about, is less so. If there’s not some pretty gory details that came out after about the balance sheet, it’s hard to figure out why they were singled out.”

SBNY’s Customers

It’s worth pointing out that Signature Bank is similar to Silvergate Capital in the sense that it has many crypto customers. For example, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) said on Friday that it has $240 million stored with the bank.

SBNY stock trading is halted as of Monday morning.
