BlackRock's Investors Can’t Have Their Money Back

[aoluain]

I have just learned of this and I havent heard of it anywhere on the news.

It could be the first signs of a financial crash.

BlackRock Just Told Investors They Can’t Have Their Money Back and the Entire Private Credit Industry Is Shaking

Something significant happened in global financial markets this week that received far less attention than it deserved. BlackRock — the world’s largest asset manager, overseeing more than $10 trillion in assets — blocked nearly half of the investors who requested withdrawals from its $26 billion private credit fund from getting their money back. Not because the fund had collapsed. Not because of fraud or regulatory intervention. Simply because too many people wanted out at the same time, and the fund didn’t have the liquidity to pay them all.

Does that sound familiar?

What are the implications for Bitcoin in this and especially if it continues?

Investors could be forced to liquidate Bitcoin and other holdings in order to
cover their debts especially if some of those get frozen and if the trend continues
as investment companies dont have enough immediate liquidity.

No it's not a sign of the financial crash
ETFs can't go bankrupt in the traditional sense since they ain't the custodian of the funds
And the limit it's on the prospectus which caps quarter withdrawals to 5% to prevent forced sales of illiquid asset
But Bitcoin isn't really an illiquid asset hence why the criticism.


Hopefully this reminds people that not your keys not your coins
Nobody can stop you from moving your Bitcoin if you in custody. I
