Welcome to another Monday edition of Daily Crypto Hunter.

As you know, the crypto industry took a few hits over the past week, watching a trifecta of collapses from Silicon Valley Bank, Signature, and Silvergate. 

Read on for the latest industry updates as we head into a new week…

Limiting SVB Fallout 

The United States government has stepped in to help mitigate the threat of further financial crisis stemming from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.

In a joint statement, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and FDIC Chair Martin Gruenberg said, “Today we are taking decisive actions to protect the U.S. economy by strengthening public confidence in our banking system…”

The government's weekend diligence would see SVB customers able to access their deposits beginning Monday morning.

Restabilization 

Aside from quelling customers concerns about accessing their funds, the weekend made for the return of some much needed price stability. 

USD Coin (USDC) is a digital asset designed to remain at a stable value of 1 USD. The popular stablecoin proved to be anything but stable following the week's events. The stablecoin's manager, Circle, said that SVB owned $3.3 billion of the roughly $10 billion in cash reserves that support USDC, a statement that sent USDC plummeting to a frightening low of under $0.87 on Saturday.

Just two days later, USDC has rebounded following the US Government's emergency bailout.
