The company took such action after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), a US lender that targeted early companies. Another US bank, Signature Bank, was shut down by regulators as a result of the development. In addition, prior to SVB’s bankruptcy, cryptocurrency-friendly Silvergate Bank suspended banking operations.

Shares of American banks began to lose value. However, eToro has limited leverage to future positions only, and existing positions will be retained.
