What’s new? Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said in an interview with Bloomberg that the company was able to regain access to its funds at the bankrupt Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) on March 13. Allaire also said that Circle’s USDC stablecoin is, in his opinion, “the safest digital dollar on the internet.” It was previously reported that the company held a portion of its $3,3 billion in reserves in SVB. In addition, after the collapse of the bank Circle called on the US Congress to urgently pass legislation to regulate stablecoins.

Circle situation. As a result of the SVB bankruptcy, USDC temporarily lost parity against the dollar, and investors began to move the asset en masse into other stablecoins. On March 13, Allaire announced that reserves from SVB would be transferred to BNY Mellon Bank, reassuring users that the funds were safe. At the same time, the US regulators unveiled a plan to recover funds from SVB depositors, which does not include a bailout of the bank itself. As of March 14, 14:00 UTC, USDC has nearly regained its peg to the dollar and is trading at $0,996256, according to aggregator CoinGecko.

Amid SVB’s collapse, crypto exchange Binance began converting the funds from its crypto companies’ assistance fund from Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoins to BTC, ETH, and BNB.
