Tropical Cyclone Ditwah dealt a serious blow to Sri Lanka's economy, but that's just the opening chapter of a bigger story. Economists are flagging a critical vulnerability: the island nation's already strained financial system could buckle under another hit—whether it's an oil price shock, supply chain disruption, or trade squeeze.



What makes this concerning isn't just the cyclone itself. It's the cascade effect. One external shock alone might be survivable. But stack an energy crisis on top of an already battered economy? That's where things get dangerous. For crypto markets watching global macro trends, these stress points matter—they signal where systemic fragility lives and how quickly contagion can spread across interconnected economies.

Sri Lanka's current economic pressure test is really at its breaking point; once the domino effect starts, there's no turning back.

This is the vulnerability of TradFi, a single typhoon can push the system to the brink, no wonder everyone is rushing to crypto.

Nah, Sri Lanka is really done for this time. One cyclone can be handled, but stacking them up? Energy crisis + economic collapse = systemic risk, that's what we should be paying attention to.

Sri Lanka really can't hold on anymore... Just as one hurricane hasn't passed, now there's a big pump in oil prices or a supply chain break that would mean game over, the chain reaction is terrifying.
