It's the third major bank in the U.S. to collapse since the start of this year. And now, it seems, the failure of First Republic bank appears to have put the White House and Wall Street on edge as both are watching for which bank will be next.

Biden called the U.S. banking environment"safe and sound," but investors were already anticipating another bank collapse as stocks fell on Tuesday. Deposits above $250,000 are not normally FDIC insured and banks like PacWest are said to have a significant amount of deposits that are above that amount. That could translate to significant liability for the U.S. economy.
