The private credit market, now valued at $2.3 trillion, is drawing attention as a potential source of financial instability. This market, which has grown tenfold since 2009, operates without regulatory oversight and has yet to experience a significant downturn. Recent developments highlight potential vulnerabilities, as SoftBank reportedly sought $6 billion in loans against its OpenAI stock to continue funding the AI company, but was denied by banks. This incident underscores the reliance of the AI sector on borrowed capital and raises concerns about the sustainability of its growth amid tightening credit conditions.
