summary: "CoreWeave, Nebius, and Nscale have been barred from securing new funding through corporate bond offerings as lenders impose stricter terms, with CoreWeave's unsecured notes yielding over 15% and its credit default swap spread climbing above 11%. The credit tightening extends to the broader data center sector, where at least 18 current deals require annual returns of more than 10%, while weekly hedge volume for AI assets grew from under $2B in July to over $9B in September amid a record $419B in AI-related bonds issued this year."
