The 2023 collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank marked two of the most significant banking failures in modern U.S. history. Among bank failures since 2001, SVB's collapse ranks second in terms of deposit losses, surpassed only by Washington Mutual Bank's 2008 failure, which saw 188 billion U.S. dollars in lost deposits. Signature Bank's failure ranks as the fourth-largest during this period. The magnitude of these 2023 failures becomes even more striking when considering their combined asset losses nearly matched the total assets lost during the 2008 financial crisis, when 25 banks collapsed.
