Private-credit shadows: Blue Owl’s move stirs worry over liquidity and risk

Blue Owl Capital’s decision to accelerate investor returns by selling loan assets from a private fund has traders worried about liquidity in the rapidly grown, opaque private-credit market. The sector, funded by pension funds and other institutions and lightly regulated, has surged since 2008, making the move appear routine to some but a potential warning sign to others. The episode underscores concerns about retail investors in semiliquid private-credit products and the risk of spillovers to broader financial markets, even as Blue Owl and peers push back on claims of a liquidity freeze.

Liquidity Play: Saba and Cox Plan Tender Offers for Blue Owl BDCs

Saba Capital Management and Cox Capital Partners disclosed their intent to commence cash tender offers to purchase a portion of outstanding shares of Blue Owl Capital Corporation II (OBDC II), Blue Owl Technology Income Corp.

Blue Owl tightens liquidity after $1.4B loan sale reshapes retail fund

Blue Owl Capital is tightening investor liquidity by offloading $1.4 billion of loan assets from three private debt funds, including $600 million from OBDC II, to North American pension and insurance buyers. OBDC II will cease regular quarterly liquidity payments and shift to periodic payouts funded by asset sales, earnings, and repayments, with proceeds used to pay down debt and return capital to OBDC II shareholders (up to $2.35 per share, about 30% of NAV). The move comes as private markets confront liquidity pressures; the other funds, OBDC and OTIC, sold $400 million each. Blue Owl’s shares declined roughly 8.7% after the announcement, illustrating investor concern over liquidity dynamics in private credit.

Stellantis Reorients Strategy Around Customer Choice to Drive Profitability

Stellantis unveiled a strategic reset to align its portfolio with real-world customer demand for EVs, hybrids and ICE, taking about €22.2 billion in charges in H2 2025 (including roughly €6.5 billion cash) and suspending the 2026 dividend as it issues up to €5 billion of hybrid bonds; it also plans a roughly $13 billion U.S. investment, new models and a major reorganization to restore growth and improve net revenues, AOI margin and industrial free cash flow in 2026, supported by about €46 billion in industrial liquidity. Early results show H2 2025 volume rose 11% to 2.8 million units with higher orders and improved quality, while 2025 ends in a net loss before the planned improvements take hold.

Bitcoin slips again, hovering near $72,000 as liquidity drains and risk-off sentiment grows

Bitcoin extended its drop for a second straight day, dipping to around $72,100 at one point and trading near $72,900, more than 40% below its October peak.

Bitcoin steadies after weekend rout as traders eye critical $73k support

Bitcoin dipped below $75,000 over the weekend and then rose to around $78,000, but traders monitor a key support near $73,000; a break there could push prices toward $60,000 by end-February as liquidity and Fed policy expectations weigh on the market. January was the fourth straight monthly drop, with over $5 billion in crypto liquidations in four days and substantial ETF outflows signaling renewed risk-off sentiment. Analysts are divided: some fear deeper downsides while others see potential for a rebound if liquidity returns and ETF flows stabilize.
