Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 7th, reports that BlackRock’s private credit fund with approximately $26 billion in assets has begun restricting withdrawals due to an increase in redemption requests, sparking concerns about spillover effects on the global private credit market. Analysts warn that tensions in this sector could transmit to the crypto market through macro deleveraging and tokenized credit products. If private credit funds are forced to deleverage or liquidate assets, it could trigger a chain reaction among broader risk assets, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Additionally, risks may also be transmitted directly via the blockchain. Data shows that the current on-chain private credit scale is close to $5 billion, mainly in the form of RWA tokenization within DeFi. If the underlying credit assets experience devaluation or default, the net asset value of related tokens could fluctuate, potentially triggering liquidations or liquidity tightening, thereby transmitting traditional credit pressures into the DeFi ecosystem.
