@plog.tv: 🚨 BREAKING: The first bank collapse of 2026 just happened. Chicago’s Metropolitan Capital Bank & Trust has officially been shut down. Illinois regulators CLOSED the bank, citing unsafe conditions and weak capital levels. Let’s break it down: • Assets: $261 million • Deposits: $212 million • Estimated hit to the FDIC insurance fund: $19.7 million This makes it the first U.S. bank failure of 2026. Now before panic spreads — this is a smaller regional bank, not a major national institution. Deposits are typically insured up to FDIC limits, so most customers should be protected. But here’s the bigger question: Are we looking at an isolated case… Or early stress in the banking system? With rates still elevated and commercial real estate under pressure, smaller banks remain vulnerable.
