🏠 Can Crypto Help You Buy a House? New US Bill Says Yes

[cryptobro]

Here’s something game-changing for crypto holders who dream of owning a home but don't want to cash out their bags just yet.

Senator Cynthia Lummis has introduced a bill called the 21st Century Mortgage Act, and it’s aiming to officially allow cryptocurrencies to be counted as assets in mortgage applications.
What’s Going On?

Back in June, the U.S. housing regulator FHFA ordered mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to consider crypto as part of loan applications. Lummis’ new bill would make that rule law.

The idea? If you hold Bitcoin, ETH, or other digital assets, they could boost your chances of mortgage approval—without converting them to fiat first.

This could be huge for young buyers: as of early 2025, only 36% of Americans under 35 own a home. And many of them have more crypto than cash.
🧱 Not Everyone’s On Board

Senate Democrats are cautious. They’re worried about crypto volatility, liquidity risks, and borrowers defaulting if their portfolios tank. Fair points—but crypto lenders like Block Earner in Australia are already testing Bitcoin-backed mortgages successfully.
Crypto in Mortgages: What It Means

No more forced liquidations just to prove financial health
Makes it easier for HODLers to access real estate without dumping bags
Could spark more Bitcoin-backed lending platforms globally
Related: Another bill from Rep. Nancy Mace also aims to let lenders consider digital assets in borrower evaluations. And guess what? The House is already on recess—but expect more crypto bills to drop when Congress returns.
