ChainCatcher reports that a private credit fund under the asset management giant BlackRock, with an approximate size of $26 billion, 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 two channels: macro deleveraging and tokenized credit products. If private credit funds are forced to deleverage or liquidate assets, it could trigger a chain reaction across broader risk assets, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
