Analyst: According to the recovery process of FDIC, Circle’s losses are easily covered by interest income

On March 11, according to the analysis of encryption analyst Adam Cochran, according to the recovery process of FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of the United States) and referring to the collapse of Southern Pacific Bank in 2003, FDIC will first pay a one-time dividend (about 62%), and pay 94% of the capital at the time of final payment. If Silicon Valley Bank is similar to this situation, the maximum loss of Circle is $198 million of $3.3 billion, which is easily covered by Circle’s interest income.
