SVB
Regulators shut down Silicon Valley Bank on Friday.
  • Silicon Valley Bank's rapid implosion shows how bank runs can go at warp speed in the digital age.
  • SVB's customers tried to withdraw funds at a rate of nearly $500,000 a second Thursday.
  • Bank-regulation rollbacks by President Donald Trump in 2018 have also been blamed for SVB's demise.

If the spectacular collapse of Silicon Valley Bank has shown us one thing, it's the speed at which a bank run can take place in the digital age.
