The FDIC intends to sell the entire businesses of both Silicon Valley Bank and Signature. However, it will consider offers for parts of the banks if a whole company sale does not occur. Additionally, any buyer of Signature will be required to relinquish all cryptocurrency-related business at the bank.
Signature Bank is a prominent crypto-friendly bank in the United States, having partnered with major players in the crypto industry, including Coinbase exchange, Paxos Trust, BitGo, and Celsius.
