<h2 id="quick-take">Quick Take</h2>
<ul>
<li>First Republic Bank shares plunged during the opening bell of today&#8217;s trading session, 29% down.</li>
<li>As banking risks stayed high, First Republic Bank saw $100 billion in deposit outflows.</li>
<li>It seems First Republic Bank is being kept on life support as they received $30 billion from the largest lenders on Wall Street.</li>
<li>The bank&#8217;s deposits fell by 40% in 22 days; the decline could have been as big as 57% if not for the <a href="https://twitter.com/JackFarley96/status/1650599662326259724?s=20">rescue package</a>.</li>
<li>Furthermore, the bank expects to reduce its headcount by 20-25% in the next two months.</li>
<li>The opinion was that the banking crisis was over. However, regional bank stocks (KRE) are trading at year-to-date lows.</li>
<li>Bitcoin is up over 35% from the start of the banking collapse back in mid-march. Could another nose dive in the banking sector spur another rally for Bitcoin?</li>
</ul>
