About The Episode

In Episode 20 of the Dakota Research Podcast, we unpack the rise of Asset-Based Finance (ABF) and Asset-Based Lending (ABL)—two fast-evolving segments reshaping how capital flows into private markets. As banks retrench and institutional demand accelerates, ABF is fueling everything from consumer loan securitizations to hyperscale data center development. We spotlight major deals like KKR’s $6.5B raise, Meta’s $29B data center financing, and xAI’s $5B GPU-backed credit line. The episode also explores how AI, blockchain, and real-time data are modernizing risk management, and why insurers, pensions, and family offices are allocating more to structured and collateralized credit. With insights into sectors like aviation, infrastructure, fintech, and digital assets—and a market projected to hit $9.2 trillion by 2029—this episode explains why ABF is becoming a core component of the modern private credit toolkit.
