2026 Summer Internship before 2027 Internship

Hi all I'm a sophomore that landed an internship for a major active AM firm for 2027 but have been unsuccessful in landing anything for 2026 summer so far. How important is it that I find something finance related? And will me being unable to find anything finance related be a detriment to my offer/position? Would love to hear from people who have experienced something similar or know of a similar situation.
