Any number of reasons, particularly if all your customers are in the same industry. If you're "Silicon Valley Bank" and there's a downturn in Silicon Valley, well, here you are.

Yeah, this is how it's similar to silvergate. The main issue silvergate had was a lack of diversification of their liabilities, I.e. their depositors were all crypto. So when crypto hit a liquidity crises, it cascaded to silvergate. The same thing could theoretically happen to SVB, although that would look very bad on tech, since tech shouldn't really be an industry unto itself. Ideally, tech is just technology, and its application is across any industry.
