Major banks are trading credit default swaps (CDS) linked to private credit funds, raising concerns about the financial system's stability. This move echoes the 2008 financial crisis, where CDS played a significant role. Despite reassurances from bank leaders, including Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, that private credit is unlikely to pose systemic risks, the $3.5 trillion market faces scrutiny with over $108 billion in bank exposure. Asset managers are limiting withdrawals amid rising concerns about liquidity and valuations.
