>It is very likely that the change in perception of Silvergate's ability to receive funding will lead to a similar turnaround. The hedge fund investments are a strong signal to the market that private investors still have confidence in the bank, and this should help restore faith in its ability to stay afloat. If other banks see that Silvergate is able to weather this storm, it could also inspire them to hold on to their assets rather than selling them at fire-sale prices, which would further stabilize markets.
