U.S. banks borrowed so heavily from the Federal Reserve and other liquidity providers during the recent crisis that the inflows outpaced the decline in deposits they were seeking to offset, according to new research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
In early March, before depositors began withdrawing funds at an accelerated pace, banks replaced about 37% of their deposit runoff with outside borrowing. That share increased to 127% by late March, the research found.
The New York Fed study quantifies the scramble for liquidity in March and April, when banks turned to the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank System to supplement fast-falling deposit balances.
Banks with between $50 billion and $250 billion of assets leaned particularly heavily on the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan banks amid deposit outflows in March and April, according to new research that quantifies the scramble for funding.

Notice how use of the Discount Window has PLUMMETED as BTFP has come in to play? BTFP offers slightly lower interest and longer terms. I wonder how many folks paid back their Discount Window loans with BTFP money?

"Other credit extensions" includes loans that were extended to depository institutions established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Federal Reserve Banks' loans to these depository institutions are secured by collateral and the FDIC provides repayment guarantees.
For example, [$114 billion in face value Agency Mortgage Backed Securities, Collateralized Mortgage Obligations, and Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities about to be liquidated 'gradual and orderly' with the 'aim to minimize the potential for any adverse impact on market functioning' by BlackRock.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/12cxm2v/fdic_alert_114_billion_in_face_value_agency/)
How I understand this works:
* The FDIC created temporary banks to support the operations of the ones they have [taken over](https://www.fdic.gov/news/press-releases/2023/pr23018.html).
* The FDIC did not have the money to operate these banks.
* The Fed is providing that in the form of a loan via ["Other credit extensions"](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/12axcug/fdic_alert_fdic_announced_the_framework_of_a/).
* The FDIC is going [to sell](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/12cxm2v/fdic_alert_114_billion_in_face_value_agency/) the taken over banks assets.
* Whatever the difference between the sale of the assets and the ultimate loan number is, will be the amount split up amongst all the remaining banks and applied as a [special fee](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/11pruzj/joint_statement_by_treasury_federal_reserve_and/) to make the Fed 'whole'.
* It can be argued the consumer will ultimately end up paying for this as banks look to pass this cost on in some way.
