It may have been a trial balloon, but even this seems premature. The banking system can't just switch to CBDC. There are far too many things not in place yet. If anything, the SVB event was a result of being forced to do so. IMHO, the SVB event was staged and contrived to provide a change to the news cycle narrative. I believe all those who were involved (SVB big name customers and banking officials alike) knew beforehand that the Biden administration would protect them from the fallout. No one would lose their money and everyone would have an insurance policy. The event was for creating a narrative and was important in taking the heat off from the real criminals behind the J6 prosecutions. Tucker Carlson releasing Monday's videos caused panic and triggered this event. So far, it sure seems to be working out this way.

Old article from March 2022 mentioning how good Circle is. Who was the number 1 affected by the failure of SVB? Circle.

“[The US] can either go the way of China and make this Orwellian, super-centralized CBDC world, or they can be a little more free market about it and acknowledge that private companies like Circle, like Tether, have already created a CBDC that’s better than anything they would create,” said the ShapeShift founder during a Decrypt podcast.
