Gemini CEO Accuses Regulators of Double Standards FRC Crisis

Recall that First Republic Bank has been facing deep liquidity crisis at the time Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank met their waterloos last month. Through the help of top banking giants, a $30 billion deposit was lodged into First Republic Bank to help it shore up its liquidity.

However, recent events that has seen the share price of the regional bank collapse by more than 65% since the start of the week has drawn more concerns from shareholders and depositors. As reportedly recently by Coingape, the US government has refused to bail out the ailing bank, further dragging down its liquidity crunch across the board.

To Cameron, assuming First Republic Bank is crypto focused, regulators would have handled the fallout differently.

“First Republic Bank is down another 35% and falling fast. If this was a “crypto” bank it would have been assassinated weeks ago. The fact that is hasn’t been taken into receivership shows just how blatant the double standard is,” he said in his tweet.

FRC Crisis: The Case for Bitcoin

The broad crisis that First Republic Bank (FRC) is facing is notably fueling a growing trust for Bitcoin (BTC) and other major altcoins. Despite starting the week with a relatively bearish momentum, Bitcoin is now trading at a price of $29,838.72, up by more than 9% over the past 24 hours.

With investors now exploring more safe bets, Bitcoin as a risk asset is now becoming more attractive, a trend that has helped push up the correlation between the digital currency and Gold. 

With the waning trust for centralized banking, the alternative means to safeguard money as proffered by Bitcoin is one of the biggest fundamentals that is helping to drive the price of the premier digital currency to a new height at this time.

Benjamin Cowen, a cryptocurrency strategist, is bearish on Ethereum (ETH) because the second-largest digital asset has failed to climb back above a key resistance level.

Cowen says that there isn’t as much “apathy” in the market as there was during the bear season of 2019/2020. “There’s so much anxiety in this level [$1,800 resistance level] like I think it’s much more likely to break down eventually… I will be the first to admit it’s taking longer than I thought it would. But I also don’t really feel that same type of apathy in the market now that I did back in 2019 and 2020.” At the time of writing, one Ethereum is worth $1,736. Cowen says that less people would care about Ethereum if the price of the second most valuable cryptocurrency fell to triple digi...
