Private Credit Is Booming; Banks Want Back In

Once satisfied with their dominant position in commercial lending from the middle market through the large cap, public syndicated market, banks have suffered significant erosion of market share at the hands of private credit (i.e., “direct lending”) competitors. With a wide range of firms leading the “golden age” of private credit, banks increasingly want back in and are employing a variety of strategies to get there. With the addressable U.S. market for private credit nearing $2.0 trillion (still a fraction of the public market), banks are ever more eager to participate in private credit’s one-stop lending solution that is one of the fastest growing businesses on Wall Street. Over the past several years, high-profile partnerships and other collaborations among banks and private credit firms have been announced at a brisk pace. Such activity is likely to continue....Read more

What Are Flash Loans?

Flash loans are a subset of smart contracts where uncollateralized loans are made to a buyer and re-paid in the same series of transactions. Flash loans represent essentially risk-free arbitrage opportunities; for example, if a cryptocurrency is being traded for $1 on one exchange and for $2 on another, a savvy trader can use smart contracts to take out a flash loan of $100 worth of the cryptocurrency on the first exchange, sell it for $200 on the second exchange, repay the loan, and pocket the extra $100 as profit as part of a single instantaneous transaction. Flash loans are usually risk-free for lenders as well; if there is no contract executed to return the amount loaned, the initial loan will never be made....Read more
