According to CryptoSlate, as of September 25, 2026, six banks have failed in the US, exceeding the five failures recorded for the entirety of 2023. However, the combined assets of these banks amount to only approximately $1.43 billion, significantly lower than the approximately $552.54 billion of banks that failed in 2023. Data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) shows that banks that failed in 2026 include institutions with assets as low as $3.73 million. The FDIC's latest industry assessment also indicates strong bank profits and a decrease in the number of problem banks, with 47 institutions on the problem bank list as of June 30, down from 54 in March and 60 at the end of 2025.
