The multi-month high followed a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of shocking events in the U.S. banking industry, with banks such as Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Silvergate and Signature shutting down operations. <\/p>\n<p>According to Trezor Bitcoin analyst Josef T\u011btek, the current sharp rise of Bitcoin\u2019s price \u2014 which is the fastest rise in price so far in 2023 \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears to be a direct result of the \u201capparent fragility of the banking system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>T\u011btek said that the current banking crisis could potentially make Bitcoin emerge as a safe haven and risk-off asset. He emphasized that Bitcoin was created soon after the world encountered the financial crisis of 2008 and was \u201clikely a response to the unfairness of bailouts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current events are a timely reminder of why we need Bitcoin,\u201d T\u011btek said, adding that the current events are not so good for many crypto businesses and assets that are centralized, referring to Circle\u2019s USD Coin (USDC). The analyst stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe current demise of certain banks is definitely good for Bitcoin as such, but not a good environment for custodians of any kind, and once again we reiterate that one the safest environments is to self-custody assets.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to T\u011btek, the recent events with Silvergate and SVB clearly show that counterparty risk in the banking system is a \u201cserious problem,\u201d though it is sometimes well hidden. He added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBanks no longer actually hold our money, but lend it out and buy volatile assets with it. Depositors are, in fact, the banks\u2019 creditors. Understandably, people are looking for alternatives such as Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>T\u011btek also suggested that Silvergate\u2019s collapse was a \u201cdirect result of its business relationship\u201d with the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, while SVB\u2019s collapse was a result of \u201cpoor risk management.\u201d He went on to say that SVB had a large exposure to long-term treasuries, which tanked in price as a result of the abrupt interest rate hikes, while the bank failed to have hedges in place. \u201cSVB had little connection to the crypto industry,\u201d T\u011btek added.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>SVB crisis: Here are the crypto firms denying exposure to troubled US banks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>T\u011btek\u2019s remarks come amid Signature Bank board member and former U.S. Congressperson Barney Frank arguing that the latest U.S. banking events are connected to crypto. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think part of what happened was that regulators wanted to send a very strong anti-crypto message,\u201d Frank <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/03\/13\/signature-bank-third-biggest-bank-failure-in-us-history.html\" data-amp=\"https:\/\/www-cnbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org\/c\/s\/www.cnbc.com\/amp\/2023\/03\/13\/signature-bank-third-biggest-bank-failure-in-us-history.html\">stated<\/a>, claiming that issues at Signature were \u201cpurely contagion from SVB.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
