Bitcoin Back on Track after Repeated Blows from Banking Sector
Bitcoin has resumed its 2023 surge and climbed above $24,000 following a seven-day drop brought on by a series of legal proceedings against significant banking actors in the market. Many other big digital currencies rose sharply today, and equities with a connection to cryptocurrencies also did so. Following a sharp decline in value caused by investor panic due to issues involving Silvergate and Silicon Valley Bank, Bitcoin appears to be making a full recovery. The Bitcoin price may have benefited from a recent declaration by US regulators that they would help clients recover stolen money.
The most recent data by Coingeko shows that during the past two days and a half, its value has increased by more than 18.7%. As of the publishing date, one Bitcoin cost $24,192. Over the same time frame, BTC’s trade volume surged dramatically, reaching $67,982,272,998.

Secretary Yellen authorized the FDIC to proceed with its settlement of said Silicon Valley Bank in California, Santa Clara, in a manner that will ensure the total protection of all depositors, after speaking with the President and the boards of directors of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve. All depositors will be able to retrieve their money as of March 13. There won’t be any financial damage to the government as a result of the deal with Silicon Valley Bank. Moreover, the New York-based Signature Bank will close after receiving a comparable systemic risk clearance from the state chartering board. Similar to the agreement of Silicon Valley Bank, all depositors will get full compensation, and the government will not be responsible.
