US Banking System Stabilized by US Treasury Announcement

Washington, March 16 – Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Thursday at a Senate hearing that the US banking system is stable and depositors’ deposits will not be affected.

Additionally, on March 8, it was announced that crypto-focused Silvergate Bank would be shutting down, and on March 12, a similar Signature Bank in New York was announced.

“I can assure the committee members that our banking system remains strong and Americans can rest assured that their deposits will be where they need them when they need them,” the Treasury secretary said.
