A number of government agencies Sunday evening teamed up to protect all depositors at Silicon Valley Bank. At the same time, New York regulators shut down Signature Bank (SBNY) as the federal government promised to protect all depositors. The actions sent U.S. stock index futures higher by more than 1%, though that rally lost steam shortly before the open. At press time, only Nasdaq 100 futures remain in the green, up 0.2%.
On Sunday, bitcoin bounced as high as $22,600. It was recently trading at $22,100. Among crypto-related stock movers Monday morning, MicroStrategy (MSTR), a software company that holds a large amount of bitcoin, rose 5.6%, and bitcoin miners Marathon Digital (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) were up 5.5% and 2.6%, respectively. Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) was down 0.6%.
