If you're wondering what financial instrument is going to implode and destroy the global economy then it's probably the ETF, although that needs something else to go really bad first and I'm going to say it'll be a tech crash.

ETFs aren't bad and I'd love to hear your explanation why they're going to crate the global economy.
The stuff coming out here is a good reason why DnD is not a good place to discuss anything related to finance.

The SEC is concerned about how they operate and are valued against how they're thought to operate and should be valued https://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-16-15/s71615-60.pdf and with a market of over $2 trillion they're extremely popular at all levels of investment, that's a bad combo in terms of known risk and rational response from investors if they start going bad.
