Wall Street legend investor's latest view: Financial system risks may reach a critical point in 2026
82-year-old Jim Rogers recently expressed concerns about the future financial situation on multiple occasions. This warning from an investment veteran is never casual—he co-founded Quantum Fund with George Soros in 1970, achieving a 4200% return over ten years, leaving a significant mark in financial history.
How accurate is his foresight? During the peak of the real estate bubble in 2005, global investors were still celebrating, but Rogers alone saw the risk and loudly proclaimed "The housing market bubble is about to burst." Wall Street's so-called elites scoffed at him at the time, but three years later, the subprime mortgage crisis arrived as predicted, and his judgment was spot on.
This time, the veteran pointed out two major systemic risks:
First, the global debt scale has reached a shocking level. Since the pandemic, central banks worldwide have flooded the markets with liquidity, piling up mountains of cash, and economic bubbles are being inflated endlessly.
Second, although the prospects for artificial intelligence are promising, market enthusiasm has significantly detached from fundamentals, with huge amounts of capital chasing concepts rather than value.
More notably, a large amount of funds are flowing into the cryptocurrency ecosystem. If the above risks trigger simultaneously, the crypto asset market—characterized by high volatility and leverage—may be the first to bear the brunt of the shockwave.
When an investor with decades of successful track record uses "inevitable" instead of "possible," it is no longer an ordinary prediction but a serious warning based on historical patterns and data. Will 2026 be a watershed? The market is giving an answer.

Rogers has started to be bearish again. Not sure if he's accurate this time... but he has indeed called out a few major pitfalls before. If a crash really happens in 2026, us crypto enthusiasts will be the first to suffer, right?

Rogers is right, the debt has piled up... but I bet the crypto world can still have another crazy round before 2026.
I didn't get it wrong in 2005, and this time I can't run away.

Rogers' guy is right, but we all know we still have to hold on until 2026. Right now, everyone who's going all-in is betting on how far this wave can go.

Rogers really isn't joking; that wave in 2005 was indeed incredible... But to be honest, the 2026 critical point? I'm more concerned about whether this current wave will first see a quick surge upward.

Rogers is at it again, claiming that the financial system will collapse in 2026? Honestly, this guy's track record is right there; his prediction in 2008 was indeed very accurate. But are there really that many funds flowing into the crypto space now, or is it being exaggerated...

Rogers is right, but for us in the crypto world, after hearing it so many times, do we still not go all-in?
Wait, 2026 again? I could have sworn I heard about the 2025 crisis last year...
But the debt situation is indeed a bit scary. The central bank has been printing money for so many years; sooner or later, they have to settle the accounts.
