Any time a big group loses wealth all at once, there's some consequence, but that's not the same as "systemic risk" where it causes catastrophe in areas not directly related.

It used to be people who purchased crypto had to know what they were doing (and know the risk). Now anyone can buy crypto without any understanding of anything after seeing a 30 second commercial about smart investing.
We have a trillion each in student loans, auto, and credit card debt. Those (besides student loans) have requirements for credit worthiness. So those people were screened and some weren’t allowed to take on debt.
Not handled well (or ignored because it’s not viewed as a systemic risk), it’s a non-negligible portion of the population that is financially wrecked and unable to meet their debt obligations. And we can’t just make policy that says the idiots that blew their money on gambling and crypto don’t need to pay back their debt… it gets ugly fast.
