Silicon Valley Bank Collapse

In 2018, a bill was signed by President Trump, which eased Dodd-Frank regulations on banks, including Silicon Valley Bank. Before this bill, banks with consolidated assets of $50 billion and higher were required to submit resolution plans to the FDIC to ensure that their failure would not have a detrimental impact on the US financial stability.

The new bill, supported by Trump and Congressional Republicans, increased this threshold to $250 billion, potentially exempting banks like Silicon Valley Bank with consolidated assets of about $175-$210 billion from some Dodd-Frank regulations. It appears that if the roll-backs had not occurred, Silicon Valley Bank would not have been excluded from these regulations
