Cryptocurrencies to buy houses

The FHFA has ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to explore accepting cryptocurrency holdings as part of a homebuyer's asset reserves—without requiring conversion to USD.

The proposal, effective immediately, allows only crypto held on U.S.-regulated, centralized exchanges to be considered. It’s a move that could reshape how mortgage eligibility is assessed and reflects a broader acknowledgment of crypto’s growing role in personal finance. A bold step by FHFA Director William Pulte—whose family reportedly holds both BTC and SOL.
