No. SVB assets to deposits ratio was about 1. So their assets can cover their deposits.
The problem is that it will take time to convert these assets to hard cash. And that's what's the problem here. While the regulators try and sell all these assets, all these startup companies need access to their money now (not a year/s later), otherwise they will have to close shop or go to fundraise from their investors again..
So as I said, everyone will get back their money with a 10-15% haircut, eventually... Now how long this will take, months, years. Who knows.
Ideally, from the regulators's perspective it would be best if a much bigger bank just outright bought SVB on the cheap and then immediately honoured the SVB deposits. However looking at the past, negative, example of Wells Fargo, no bank is ain't going to do it unless the regulators sign up on some solid guarantees.
That award is given only to the biggest warmongers, compradors, imperial governors of colonial territories, etc. Xi is unqualified for it.
Yeah, that is the perception that seems to have been been promoted by the Western media the last decade or so.
Just like some Westerners might associate the province of Xinjiang with the genocide of Muslims they might hear New Delhi and think gang rape,due to the prominent reporting of one particularly nasty case by the BBC.
The UN Secretary General's spokesman also got involved:
The 's spokesman stated on 5 March, "I'm not going to comment on the unspeakable comments that were made by the person accused of raping this girl, but I think the secretary-general has spoken very clearly on the need to halt violence against women and on the need for men to get involved in halting violence against women and decrying it loud and clear every time it occurs."
Still, the rape statistics(number of rape incidents per 100,000 citizen) don't really bear this perception out. India is way down that particular league table
Some of the "leading" nations in the field:

Not entirely sure how much store you can put into those figures. Different countries are more or less assiduous about collecting data on rape incidents and- for that matter- there might be different criterion for determining what constitutes rape.
Also, anecdotally there does seem to be a bit of harassment of Western tourists in India and there probably is high underreporting of sexual violence against women there. But there certainly does seem to be a curious discrepancy between the perception and the statistics..
Difference in criteria certainly plays a big role to put Sweden high in the list. If a man had sex with a drunk woman after a wild party, it is a rape if the woman says so afterward, it is only up to her mind. Assange is a good example, even though it was a honey trap setup by US it was still a rape by Swedish law.
Thanks for the update.
A old time classical bank run, straight out of the early 1900's hundreds, but with a modern twist of Treasuries, near zero interest rates, and a QE happy Fed.
Looks like an isolated problem, to be solved quickly.
The Chinese would buy this bank, if allowed, lol. Chinese banks are the biggest banks in the world. They do not fool around too much with the derivatives.
Here, does not appear that they were even into that.
According to that website India's rape rate is about the same as Hong Kong's.

Isn't there stigma if women in India were to come out or report to the police that they got raped? Moreover, I think we had someone post a news about some women in India reporting rape, after which she got raped by police.
In general, it's really hard to find accurate statistics on rape, since women not coming out and reporting that they got raped isn't that uncommon. And some countries differs in their way of judging what is rape or not (sweden is high, cuz women can report drunk after party sex as rape the next day, and likely less stigma compared to more conservative cultures).
Not to mention, the actual statistics coming out from the various police stations in a country might not be all that accurate, especially for a country like India that is rather decentralised with the inner federal states having quite a lot of autonomy. And in general the country is backwards/poor, some police stations might really not have the best computers and so on to note down stuff, even here in 2020s.
