I think that the bank gets rescued, probably very soon, the next few days.
To let it fail will harm a significant portion of the US startup community and damage the country's ability to continue to innovate. In many ways, it is too big to fail because of its ties to the startup community.
I think there is no other solution right now be a federal rescue of SVB. It is likely insolvent right now if they had to sell their assets at firesafes prices. An orderly unwind would help all involved and preserve a lot of value.
A federal rescue is fine by me, as long as the government turns a profit (like TARP), and the investors/management get clobbered before anyone else. Otherwise we are just encouraging more bad behavior.
