The US banking crisis is getting worse, with another bank on the verge of collapse. However, BTC reacted positively to the news with a 4% gain.

In the first quarter, First Republic borrowed $92 billion, mostly from the Federal Reserve and government-backed lending groups. It has effectively replaced lost deposits with loans.JP Morgan ChaseFurthermore, bank executives did little to establish confidence during a conference call this week. Finance professor at New York University, Aswath Damodaran, commented, “This is a trust issue, as it is for any bank, and when trust is lost, money will flee.
However, the move may be short-lived as Bitcoin remains down 6.5% over the past week as crypto markets correct. The $28,000 price zone has now flipped from support to resistance.
