AI GPU collateral lending as a rebranded private credit bubble
The bear case argued that the 'collateralized AI' lending initiative between NVIDIA and large asset managers is a desperate rebranding of a failing private credit model, using rapidly depreciating GPUs as collateral for loans to cash-burning AI companies. Argued on Eurodollar University’s “Eurodollar Talk: Wall Street Is Preparing for the Next Financial Shock”, aired 7 September 2026. The reasoning given was that the underlying borrowers lack profitable business models and cannot service market-rate debt, making the loans akin to subprime lending.
