After last week's events, which included Silvergate's closure and the following regulator takeover of Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank, the values of US banks have fallen amid the persistent anxiety surrounding smaller banks in the nation.

In Europe, Credit Suisse was earlier that day purchased by UBS Group for about $2 billion as part of emergency measures taken by Swiss authorities to protect the financial stability of their nation. The Swiss National Bank agreed to lend USB more than $100 billion as part of the accord.

According to statistics from Companies Market Cap, the $2 billion acquisition implies a significant discount from Credit Suisse's market value on March 17 of close to $8 billion. According to former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan, a coming global financial crisis may push Bitcoin over $1 million in less than 90 days.

A U.S. banking crisis would, in Srinivasan's prediction, set off a scenario of hyperinflation and a seven-digit Bitcoin price. On Twitter, Srinivasan is risking $2 million on his predictions for the future of the US economy and their potential effects on the price of Bitcoin. BTC/USD was still on track for an outstanding candle closure on weekly timeframes after acting last around $27,000 in June 2022.
