Big news for crypto and real estate markets.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has directed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to begin treating cryptocurrency holdings as eligible assets in mortgage applications. This marks the first time the U.S. government has officially recognized crypto—like Bitcoin and Ethereum—as part of the mortgage underwriting process.

The move, announced by FHFA Director William Pulte, aligns with President Trump’s vision of making the U.S. the global hub for crypto innovation. It also eliminates the need for borrowers to convert crypto into fiat before applying for a mortgage, potentially saving thousands in taxes and fees.

With Fannie and Freddie backing around half of the $12 trillion U.S. mortgage market, this policy shift could redefine homeownership for the next generation of crypto-native Americans.
