The CDS basket has a trading unit of $25 million, with $5 million in swap contracts for each company.** Investors can use this product to express a bullish or bearish stance on the creditworthiness of the aforementioned companies, in order to manage the credit risk exposure arising from tech giants' heavy borrowing for AI infrastructure financing. This move reflects the growing market attention to the credit risks of tech giants. The trading volume of CDS contracts linked to single companies has surged from virtually zero in the past year to become among the most active derivative contracts outside the US financial industry, with the explosion in hedging demand driving Wall Street to accelerate the creation of related tools. ## Demand Background: AI Lending Boom Spurs Credit Hedging Frenzy Wall Street's move directly addresses investor concerns about the aggressive financing activities of tech giants. To support AI infrastructure construction, these companies have recently seen a sharp expansion in their borrowing, exposing bondholders to potential credit risks. In the open market, the trading activity of CDS contracts has significantly increased. **According to data from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), swap contracts linked to single companies have surged from near obscurity over the past year to become one of the most actively traded derivative contracts outside the US financial industry.** Among these, Oracle's investment-grade CDS liquidity is the most prominent. Nicholas Godec, head of fixed income, exchange-traded products, and commodities at S&P Dow Jones Indices, recently stated in an interview that the average weekly trading volume for Oracle's credit default swaps has exceeded $830 million. ## Industry Trends: Market Makers and Index Providers Follow Suit JPMorgan is not the only institution making moves in this area. According to previous reports by Bloomberg, the bank, along with other investment banks, has also structured CDS basket products for hedge fund clients that cover listed companies with exposure to the private credit industry. On the market-making front, Citadel Securities entered the space in November last year, beginning to provide market-making services for two corporate bond baskets issued by four hyperscale cloud providers. Simultaneously, Meta and Alphabet have been included in credit risk indices, further enhancing the market accessibility of related derivatives. These series of actions indicate that as the scale of AI infrastructure financing continues to expand, a system of hedging tools for tech giants' credit risk is rapidly taking shape, and Wall Street is transforming this demand into new business growth opportunities. ### Related Stocks - [Direxion Daily META Bear 1X ETF (METD.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/METD.US.md) - [iShares US Broker-Dealers&Secs Exchs ETF (IAI.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IAI.US.md) - [Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 2X Shares (GGLL.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GGLL.US.md) - [Global X Cloud Computing ETF (CLOU.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CLOU.US.md) - [Oracle Corporation (ORCL.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL.US.md) - [Direxion Daily AMZN Bear 1X ETF (AMZD.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZD.US.md) - [GraniteShares 2x Long META Daily ETF (FBL.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBL.US.md) - [Direxion Daily AMZN Bull 2X Shares (AMZU.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZU.US.md) - [Meta Platforms, Inc.
