The bank is a financial institution’s most visible face of systemic risk. When one or more financial institutions fail or are wound down, the system becomes less secure: once again, access to traditional banking services is curtailed. The consequences for an individual institution are also different this time around: if there is a bank run, it will result in higher costs for consumers and other financial institutions, which means more competition and lower barriers to entry for new savers. That is why bank has insurance to prevent bank run. Unfortunately, crypto has no insurance and is prone to bank run.

How to prevent bank run when there is one To avoid being a target of a bank run, you need to: Keep tabs on your money — Don’t place personal information on third parties or use social media as your primary means of communication with the outside world. If you have personal accounts with banks, watch them carefully and report suspicious activity immediately; if you don’t, they may become targets of a bank run. Map out your strategy ahead of time — As with any bad situation, you need to plan out how to handle it from here on out. Keep tabs on what documents are being produced and what actions need to be taken so that they do not fall into the wrong hands (see above). It’s not always easy but keeping tabs on your money is just as important as keeping tabs on your cash.
