SVB collapse was Fed planned

The Fed had modified in 2021, its payment systems risk policy, the ones that are aimed at mitigating some of the pressures firms feel about holding intraday cash. The objective was to expand access to collateralized intraday credit and to clarify the eligibility standards for accessing uncollateralized intraday credit. The SRF(Standing Repo Facility) is where the Fed stands ready to lend cash through repo contracts that use open-market-operations eligible assets as collateral. This is why collateral holdings increased steadily from about $1 trillion to just under $4 trillion since 2011. Banks will now include access to the SRF in their resolution planning. Guidance from regulators favoring that will induce systemic firms to rebalance their cash and other liquidity provisioning toward HQLAs accepted at the facility, which can yield a higher return than cash.
This is all preparation for the digital dollar that is coming very soon. Cash is outdated and is on life support with January 2025 being set as the day its plug gets pulled.
The banks will build up confidence again over the weekend so Monday $PacWest Bancorp(PACW.US)$ $First Republic Bank(FRC.US)$ and $Metropolitan Bank(MCB.US)$ will be high flying right out the gate.
