TL;DR Summary

Signature Bank, which was recently shuttered by state regulators, is reportedly up for sale, but any potential buyer must agree to give up all crypto business.

The closure of Signature Bank and other crypto-friendly banks has led some in the industry to speculate about a coordinated effort by regulators to choke off the crypto industry from the banking system.
