第二季度,价值 2 万亿美元的私人信贷市场的赎回请求激增至 156 亿美元,超出了大多数业务开发公司 5% 的季度上限标准,导致许多投资者仅获得部分付款。 第二季度,投资者从美国上市的现货比特币 ETF 撤资近 50 亿美元,导致比特币价格下跌约 14%,并连续第三个季度亏损。
比特币 ETF 和私人信贷的流动性同时激增,加上美国战略石油储备的枯竭,引发了人们对整个市场的金融和实物风险缓冲能力正在削弱的担忧。 如果说第二季度比特币交易所交易基金(ETF)表现不佳,资金流出创纪录地接近 50 亿美元,那么私人信贷的情况就更加残酷。 数据来源 SoSoValue 的数据显示,仅 6 月份,投资者就从美国上市的现货比特币 ETF 撤资 40 亿美元,其中以贝莱德 (BlackRock) 的 IBIT 为首。资金流出主要是由于资本转向人工智能行业和其他备受瞩目的机会,例如 SpaceX 的重磅 IPO。随着比特币 BTC$64.126,03 的价格在第二季度下跌约 14%,跌破 60,000 美元,连续第三个季度下跌,市场感受到了压力。
然而,与 2 万亿美元私人信贷市场的流动性压力相比,这一资金外流相形见绌,投资者在第二季度要求赎回 156 亿美元,但仅得到部分满足。根据惠誉追踪的数据,16 家业务开发公司 (BDC) 中有 10 家的赎回请求超过了标准 5% 的季度上限,这意味着许多投资者只收到了一部分资金,并在未来几个季度继续排队。 惠誉表示,平均请求占份额从第一季度的 9.7% 上升至 10.3%,但范围广泛(Blue Owl 的 OTIC 为 1.3%–38.1%)。许多请求都是投资者提出的后续要求,但上季度他们只得到了部分满足。新资金流入平均下降约 56%,因此大多数基金的净流出约为上一季度资产净值的 3%。 对于私人信贷而言,令人担忧的是惠誉预计未来几个月将继续出现赎回。 评级机构惠誉警告称,“由于 BDC 将季度赎回上限限制在 5%,未满足的要求将导致许多公司在未来几个季度的赎回持续增加。” 相同的故事,不同的结构
比特币 ETF 是流动性强的交易所交易工具,资金流出直接影响 BTC 的现货价格。私人信贷 BDC 则相反:流动性差、期限长的贷款工具,内置季度门槛。 尽管如此,投资者同时急于退出这两个市场的事实确实表明,人们对流动性和风险偏好更加谨慎。 与此同时,能源市场继续发出避险信号,美国战略石油储备处于1983年以来的最低水平。因此,如果能源市场继续受到干扰,政府现在向市场注入石油并压低价格的缓冲能力将大大减少。 所有这些都表明风险资产多头面临更加严峻的环境。 总部位于新加坡的 QCP Capital 表示:“由于没有货币缓冲,实物缓冲更加重要。SPR 已降至 1983 年以来的最低水平,Strategy 首次出售 BTC 来为股息提供资金,而私人信贷赎回请求突破了 8 个半流动基金的 5% 门槛。” “不同的角落,相同的图案:缓冲器磨损得很薄,”QCP 补充道。 比特币新闻 相关资产 比特币$64.126,03 0.17%
Redemption requests in the $2 trillion private credit market surged to $15.6 billion in the second quarter, breaching standard 5% quarterly caps at most business development companies and leaving many investors only partly paid.
Investors pulled nearly $5 billion from U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs in the second quarter, contributing to a roughly 14% drop in bitcoin’s price and its third straight quarterly loss.
The simultaneous rush for liquidity in bitcoin ETFs and private credit, alongside a depleted U.S. strategic petroleum reserve, is stoking concerns that financial and physical buffers against risk are eroding across markets.
If the second quarter was bad for bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with record outflows of nearly $5 billion, it was even more brutal for private credit.
Investors yanked out $4 billion from U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs, led by BlackRock’s IBIT in June alone, according to data source SoSoValue. The outflow was mainly due to capital rotation into the AI trade and other high-profile opportunities, such as SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO. The market felt the heat as bitcoin's BTC$64.126,03 price fell roughly 14% in the second quarter, dipping below $60,000 to register its third straight quarterly loss.
However, that outflow was dwarfed by liquidity stress in the $2 trillion private credit market, where investors requested $15.6 billion in redemptions during Q2 and were only partially satisfied. According to data tracked by Fitch, redemption requests exceeded the standard 5% quarterly cap at 10 of the 16 business development companies (BDCs), meaning many investors received only a portion of their money and remain in line for future quarters.
Average requests rose to 10.3% of shares from 9.7% in Q1, but ranged widely (1.3%–38.1% at Blue Owl’s OTIC), Fitch said. Many requests were follow-ups from investors who were only partly satisfied last quarter. New inflows fell by about 56% on average, so most funds saw net outflows of roughly 3% of the prior quarter’s net asset value.
What's concerning, for private credit, is that Fitch expects continued redemptions in the months ahead.
"With BDCs capping redemptions at 5% quarterly, unfulfilled requests will lead to persistent elevated redemptions for many firms in the coming quarters," ratings agency Fitch warned," the ratings agency said.
Same story, different structures
Bitcoin ETFs are liquid, exchange-traded vehicles, where outflows directly impact the spot price of BTC. Private credit BDCs are the opposite: illiquid, long-duration lending vehicles with built-in quarterly gates.
Still, the fact that investors rushed for exit in both at the same time does point to broader caution around liquidity and risk appetite.
Amid all this, energy markets continue to send risk-off signals, with the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve at its lowest level since 1983. So, if the energy market remains disrupted, the government now has significantly less buffer to flood the market with oil and keep prices lower.
All of these point to a tougher environment for risk asset bulls.
"With no monetary cushion coming, the physical buffers matter more. The SPR has drawn down to its lowest since 1983, Strategy sold BTC for the first time to fund dividends, and private-credit redemption requests breached the 5% gates across eight semi-liquid funds," Singapore-based QCP Capital said.
"Different corners, same pattern: the buffers are wearing thin," QCP added.
