Credit Unions have a separate insurance system (NCUA) that appears to be better capitalized than FDIC, but with same $250K limit. https://ncua.gov/
Also, as a credit union "member" you actually have an equity stake in the credit union in case of liquidation. So you would never lose 100% of your capital or get bail-in loss of account funds. With big banks under FDIC rules they can confiscate all of your funds above whatever limit they set per Dodd-Frank legislation.
In general, Credit Unions are more conservatively run and less leveraged. Leverage is what blows up banks. What is happening is loss of value of longterm government bonds purchased by Regional Banks with leverage. Big Banks also having issues, but they have direct spigot connected to Federal Reserve funds.
They may be trying to implode Regionals intentionally to allow Big Bank consolidation in order to implement Central Bank Digital Currency and get maximum compliance.
