And SVB means Silicon Valley Bank, which was shut down by a regulatory body some days ago: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/10/silicon-valley-investors-and...

(seriously HN, we non-US people have never heard of your terms)

Eight of the current HN headlines are about SVB, four of which spell out Silicon Valley bank. Shouldn't be too hard to put it together.
