Mortgage assets to now include cryptocurrencies, as per instructions from the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, William Pulte.
The Daily Hodl: Breaking Cryptocurrency News, June 26, 2025
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the U.S.'s largest mortgage providers, have been instructed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to count crypto as a mortgage asset. FHFA director William Pulte made the announcement on social media platform X.
Pulte stated that the move was in line with President Trump's vision to establish the U.S. as the world's leader in cryptocurrency. According to the FHFA order, only digital assets held on a U.S.-regulated crypto exchange will be considered as mortgage assets.
The policy change signifies a major development in the recognition of cryptocurrency as an asset class in the U.S. housing finance market. Lenders will now be able to factor in crypto assets when assessing borrowers' financial strength, expanding opportunities for homebuyers who hold crypto.
The FHFA has regulated Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. The order does not specify which cryptocurrencies will be included.
