ICYMI: Bitcoin Breaks $100k; Citadel Pushes for Four-Year Non-Competes

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4ba06491-4fef-467c-aad9-b2db00f398ce/transcript

There’s been a lot of negative media around “private credit,” but most of that conversation is focused on leveraged corporate lending. Real estate credit is a different market — loans are asset-backed and underwritten to hard collateral. We’re in the middle of a significant housing shortage in the U.S., particularly in major urban markets like New York. That structural demand continues to support new housing development and well-located multifamily assets. There’s increasing attention from policymakers around housing affordability and supply, including proposals from figures like Zohran Mamdani. Regardless of the political approach, there’s broad recognition that more housing needs to be built and that capital will be needed to support that supply.

Ran Eliasaf is Founder and Manager Partner of Northwind Group, an institutional real estate credit platform focused on lending and structured financing for commercial real estate and healthcare assets. Since its founding in 2008, the firm has transacted on more than $9 billion of real estate across over 400 properties and originated approximately $4 billion of loans secured by more than 300 properties, with zero principal losses across its debt investments to date. Ran speaks with Bloomberg's Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.

Iran has stepped up attacks on Saudi Arabia in recent days, signaling it’s targeting the oil-rich kingdom more aggressively than earlier in the war.

Tehran launched almost 100 drones at Saudi Arabia on Monday, far above the previous daily average of less than 25, according to data released by the Saudi defense ministry. The barrage marked the largest single-day strike on the country since the war began.

The surge started last week and has since intensified, with attacks increasingly concentrated on the kingdom’s eastern province, home to major oil infrastructure. The escalation underscores Iran’s ability to destabilize the wider Gulf, threatening shipping lanes — particularly the vital Strait of Hormuz — and energy facilities.

Iran is relying more heavily on drones than missiles as the conflict drags on. Drones typically carry smaller payloads than ballistic or cruise missiles and tend to cause less destruction, though they can still inflict significant damage depending on the target. Their relatively low cost and ability to be launched in large numbers make them a persistent challenge for air-defense systems.

Launches have declined since the start of the war, but that doesn’t mean Tehran is running short of weapons. Despite US and Israeli strikes on stockpiles, launchers and drone factories, Iran remains able to sustain attacks.
