Found this one, which is post pandemic on the derivatives. It also covers the party risk i mentioned in my post. Although DB is mentioned many times ( as the worst offender ) It focuses on the Global precious metals derivatives market as an example of the larger issue.

Total world exposure is $640 trillion

2020 World GDP is about 90 trillion

To avert disaster currencies will need to print like never before. Including saving dysfunctional businesses that no sane bank would lend to ( but will be forced to anyway ). As if they default on their party losses to the derivatives market, the banks go under.

We are heading to a new financial system. The death of the current one will be terrifying.
