Cryptocurrency bank loan
The 11 FHLBanks are independent, privately-owned cooperatives that provide on-demand liquidity in the form of loans called advances to 6,800[6] member financial institutions that meet stringent credit requirements and post and maintain adequate collateral. In 2023, a few member banks with exposure to the cryptocurrency industry (Silvergate Capital Corporation, Signature Bank and Metropolitan Bank Holding Corporation) received FHLB loans in response to a run on deposit withdrawals. These billions in loans were not related to mortgage lending. Some have criticized such lending practices. Bloomberg Businessweek quoted Michael Bright, chief executive officer of the trade group Structured Finance Association and a former interim head of the Government National Mortgage Association or Ginnie Mae as saying, “It’s a strange irony. You have a lot of banks that access the FHLBs, but aren’t using advances for mortgage liquidity”[7][circular reference][8][9][10] Other banking experts such as Mark T. Williams from Boston University, in the Financial Times, point to the important on-demand liquidity and shock absorber role the FHLBanks perform in times of financial crisis. He contends that the March 2023 bank runs would have been more pronounced had such lending not been available
