REGIONAL BANKS HOLD THE RISK Around 80% of commercial real estate loans are held by smaller regional banks, many with nearly half their assets tied to properties that may no longer be worth what was loaned. $2.2 TRILLION REFINANCE CLIFF IS COMING Between now and 2027, trillions in commercial real estate loans will reset at much higher interest rates, which could trigger widespread defaults if values keep falling. EARLY SIGNS ARE ALREADY SHOWING Zions Bank took a $50M loss due to fraud, Western Alliance is facing lawsuits, and even investment firms like Jeffries are warning of unexpected hits, sparking fresh banking panic. BIG BANKS VS SMALL BANKS REALITY CHECK Large banks like Chase and Bank of America are stress-tested and diversified. Smaller banks are not, so they’re the ones most exposed to this new wave of risk. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU This isn’t a full banking collapse scenario, but it is a clear warning: diversify your cash, stay under FDIC limits per bank, and don’t assume all institutions carry the same level of safety.
