Silicon Valley Bank, known for its funding and banking services to risky tech startup projects, is facing struggles that could negatively impact the industry.

The bank has sold 21 billion dollars worth of holdings at a1.8 billion dollars loss and faced a drop in its stock value by two thirds last year.

Its latest financial maneuropean unionvers, including raising 500 million dollars from a venture firm, are raising alarm with its client base.

Total client funds have fallen for the last five quarters, and ratings agencies have downgraded its ratings, reflecting its funding and liquidity challenges.

These challenges could have a domino effect on tech startup investments, making it harder and costlier to access loans, ultimately affecting the growth of the tech industry.
