Which 2000s bubble burst after the Nasdaq Composite peaked in March 2000?

The bubble that burst after the Nasdaq Composite peaked in March 2000 was the dot-com bubble.

Internet-related companies attracted enormous investment during the late 1990s, even when many had little revenue or no profits. The Nasdaq Composite reached 5,048.62 on March 10, 2000. It then declined sharply as investors reassessed unrealistic valuations, rising interest rates, and the ability of online businesses to earn money.

The Nasdaq ultimately fell about 78% from its peak to its October 2002 low. The crash did not destroy the internet as a technology; instead, it eliminated or weakened many speculative companies. Amazon and eBay survived and later expanded, while numerous firms disappeared. The dot-com bubble is sometimes confused with the 2008 housing and credit crisis, but the two episodes involved different assets and different immediate triggers.
