Benzinga - Depositors of Silicon Valley Bank (NASDAQ: SIVB) will have access to all their money starting Monday, according to regulators.

The Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Treasury Department in a joint statement said that the FDIC will complete its resolution of Silicon Valley Bank in a manner that fully protects all depositors.

The resolution was made possible through a systemic risk exception, following a recommendation from the boards of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve.

No losses associated with the resolution will be borne by the taxpayer, the statement added.

Similar protection has been extended to depositors of Signature Bank (NASDAQ: SBNY), which was closed by its state chartering authority.

Shareholders and unsecured debtholders will not be protected, and senior management has been removed.

Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.

Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board has announced it will make available additional funding to eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors.

The joint announcement led to a major spurt in the prices of major cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) trading up by about 8%.

Other major cryptocurrencies like Binance (CRYPTO: BNB) and USD Coin (CRYPTO: USDC) shot up about 4% following the announcement.
