To add on, definitely not a “normal” degenerate matter, no. If there’s enough mass there to form a black hole, the energy liberated from shrinking exceeds the energy needed to decrease the wavelength of the particles, and continues doing so perpetually. Doing that calculation is why we were so sure black holes must exist in the first place.
