Coinbase To Launch Token-Backed Mortgage Down-Payments This Summer Authored by Turner Wright via CoinTelegraph.com, Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase will allow qualified borrowers to pledge digital assets to fund Fannie Mae-backed mortgage apartments beginning this summer. In a Thursday notice, Coinbase and its partner, Better Home & Finance, said the mortgage structure plan launching “by summer 2026” will allow borrowers to initially use Bitcoin ( BTC ) or USDC ( USDC ) as collateral for loans to fund down payments for homes. The initiative, first announced in March , represented a significant shift in companies allowing digital assets to be used for financing houses. “We’re excited to expand access to all qualified borrowers to fix an ongoing issue: buyers who qualify on every measure that matters but cannot clear the down payment hurdle because their wealth isn’t where the system expects to find it,” said Better founder and CEO Vishal Garg. Garg said in a March post on X: “This isn’t a niche thing. It’s what everyone is going to do once most financial assets are tokenized. It’s just a better way to buy a house.” The move by Coinbase and Better followed US regulatory agencies under the Trump administration being friendlier to crypto companies and more accepting of digital assets integrated with traditional finance. In June 2025, the US Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to consider crypto as an asset in mortgage risk assessments without requiring a conversion into fiat. Other mortgage lenders have made similar moves since the FHFA order. In February, Newrez began allowing borrowers to use their cryptocurrency holdings to qualify for a mortgage application.

N Rotteveel/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Despite Bitcoin’s ( BTC-USD ) steep decline in recent days, Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research at VanEck, said Friday he sees opportunity ahead. “Q4 looks to us like a time when you want to have a full position,” he told CNBC in an interview, pointing to Bitcoin’s historical four-year cycle and growing institutional adoption. The bullish longer-term outlook comes amid significant short-term pain. Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) tumbled to below $60K earlier in the session, marking the first time the crypto has traded in the fifties since October 2024. The digital asset has fallen nearly 25% over the past month as broader digital asset markets came under pressure. Other major tokens including Ether ( ETH-USD ), Solana ( SOL-USD ), XRP ( XRP-USD ), and Cardano ( ADA-USD ) each fell more than 5% during the selloff. Sigel attributed the weakness primarily to macroeconomic factors. “The main reason for the weakness today is the macro impulse from the stronger than expected jobs number , which is moving rates higher and causing investors to rethink the discount rate for all types of growth assets,” he explained. He also pointed to artificial intelligence ( AIQ ) as a significant competitive threat to crypto, noting that AI is “competing directly with all sorts of existing software incumbents and lowering the barriers to entry.” Sigel cited an incident where the Zcash ( ZEC-USD ) coin crashed 50% after the community used AI tools to discover a critical bug in its code, forcing the chain to restart. “This is the time in the market when the weak hands are puking Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) and chasing AI,” Sigel said, adding that two central banks and several sovereign wealth funds are now buying Bitcoin.
