The dot-com crash was 5trillion dollars, and the next crisis could be 4times larger.

The article says the losses from the dot-com crash were estimated at 5trillion dollars, and that if the vulnerabilities now unfolding are combined, the next crisis could grow to 4times that level. The point is that this would not be a simple price correction, but one with broad ripple effects across the financial system.

The article identified three main drivers of the crisis. First, nonbank financial intermediation has become much larger than before, increasing funding channels outside the traditional banking sector. Second, market leverage is higher and derivative positions have become more complex. Third, it explained that structural imbalances in exchange-traded products such as ETFs and in short-term funding markets could amplify liquidity shocks.

The article also notes that the central bank's tightening and volatility in global bond markets became triggers that exposed the risks. It says that the fragility of short-term funding markets, especially repo-like transactions, can rapidly transmit stress.

Rather than listing specific countries or banks, the article emphasized that systemic risk factors have been accumulating. It explained that changes in financial infrastructure and market structure are creating a different type of shock from the past.

The report was published on 2026year 7month 10day. The article itself assessed the possibility of a crisis and summarized, around examples and structural factors, how shocks could spread.
