The acquisition includes the assumption of approximately $92 billion of deposits.

First Republic's failure comes after the collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.

Federal regulators took unprecedented action to insure all deposits at the two banks.

After the banks were taken into receivership, the FDIC solicited bids to buy them.

The twin failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank threatened to spark more bank runs.

By and large, deposits have stabilized, according to recent earnings reports.

First Republic's death spiral began when it announced it had lost $100 billion worth of deposits.

The acquisition by JPMorgan may bring more calm to the banking sector.
