Analysis: Silicon Valley Bank collapse has echoes of 2008. Here’s why things are different this time

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:35 GMT

Analysis by Julia Horowitz and Anna Cooban | CNNThe failure of Silicon Valley Bank is rattling markets and raising uncomfortable questions: Will it undermine the broader banking system and start a new meltdown?Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman has compared SVB to Bear Stearns, the first lender to collapse at the start of the 2007-2008 global financial crisis.“The risk of failure and deposit losses here is that the next, least well-capitalized bank faces a run and fails, and the dominoes continue to fall,” Ackman wrote on Twitter.Yet most analysts say the implosion of SVB appears company-specific for now.
