New York Community Bancorp (NYCB) made headlines on Wednesday as its stock experienced a dramatic plunge of 42% before staging a rebound following the announcement of a $1 billion capital raise. 

The bank also unveiled a leadership shake-up, featuring former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin as one of the new board members.

In a press release issued on Wednesday afternoon, NYCB confirmed that it had struck a deal with several investment firms, including Liberty Strategic Capital (led by Mnuchin), Hudson Bay Capital, and Reverence Capital Partners, to raise over $1 billion in exchange for equity in the bank.

The shares briefly halted trading, surging nearly 30% before retracing some gains when trading resumed. 

Ultimately, the stock closed the day up over 7% after several additional halts.

Signature bank was one of the major crypto banks that offered fiat and banking services to crypto startups.

The lender was shut down on March 12, 2023, after depositors withdrew large sums of money on the heels of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB).
