Rapid Obsolescence & Depreciation: GPUs lose value quickly (new generations every 18-24 months). If AI demand slows or better chips arrive, collateral value can crash, leading to under-collateralization.
Double Default Risk: collateral value and revenue (compute rentals) can drop simultaneously in a downturn.
Liquidation Challenges: oversupply during forced sales could tank the secondary market for used GPUs.
Concentration & Cyclical Risk: heavily tied to the AI boom; vulnerable to hype cycles (similar to dot-com vendor financing issues).
Higher Costs: often more expensive than plain corporate debt due to complexity and risk premiums.
Regulatory & Structural Risks: in TradFi, heavy capital requirements for banks. In DeFi: smart contract, governance, or custody risks (though mitigated in USD.AI).
Systemic Concerns: some compare aggressive GPU financing to pre-2008 financial engineering (hidden leverage via SPVs).
