>It's also unclear how much of uninsured funds will be recouped (although most people believe the figure will be above 80%)

Where is this 80% number coming from?




The FDIC's statement shared that: As of December 31, 2022, Silicon Valley Bank had approximately $209.0 billion in total assets and about $175.4 billion in total deposits

The question is what haircut the FDIC will take on the $209b when they forcefully liquidate all securities. If the above data is still accurate, the FDIC can make depositors whole as long as they don't take more than a 16% haircut when liquidating.

SVB recently liquidated their AFS bond portfolio at ~90c on the dollar. And, this traunch of securities is very sensitive to interest rate changes.

Their HTM bond portfolio consists mostly of securities that could be sold today for ~80c on the dollar.

Given the above, it seems likely depositors will be made close to whole. Then again, who knows what's hidden from public eye.

At the very least the 20b from yesterday will be there right? So atleast 10%
