Meanwhile, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said the government will not bail out Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), following its shutdown by regulators last Friday. Defending the government's position, Yellen said several reforms were introduced after the 2008 financial crisis with the sole aim to prevent any requirement for a bailout by the government, reported Boitcoin.com.
She further said she has been working closely with the regulators to come up with a framework to address the unprecedented situation appropriately.
"I’ve been working all weekend with our banking regulators to design appropriate policies to address this situation," remarked Yellen.
