The announcement follows the U.S. Federal Reserve’s disclosure that it established a backstop entity called the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) to assist banks facing liquidity challenges. The central bank of the United States also stated that all depositors of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank would be fully compensated.

This means Circle Financial won’t lose funds because the bailout will make depositors whole, but Circle does lose a banking partner with Signature being shut down by New York regulators.

“We were heartened to see the U.S. government and financial regulators take crucial steps to mitigate risks extending from the fractional banking system,” Allaire said in a statement. “All deposits from SVB are 100% secure and will be available at banking open tomorrow.”

Allaire added:

100% of USDC reserves are also safe and secure, and we will complete our transfer for [la] remaining SVB cash to BNY Mellon. As previously shared, liquidity operations for USDC will resume [como] banking open[s] tomorrow morning.

The Circle CEO also commented on the Banco de firmas issue, as Circle had previously used the company’s Signet service, which facilitated settlements between USDC and USD. Signature Bank’s Signet is a similar service to Banco Silvergate‘s now-defunct SEN network. “With the closure of Signature Bank announced tonight, we will not be able to process minting and redemption through Signet. We will be relying on settlements through BNY Mellon,” Allaire said in his Twitter statement.
