FDIC Takes Over
Following the seizure of Republic First by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities on April 26, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was appointed as its receiver. The FDIC will absorb nearly all deposits and assets of Republic Bank.

Conclusion
The failure of Republic First Bank has raised questions about the stability of the banking industry and the potential role of cryptocurrencies as an alternative.
