## Resource

A major milestone just happened at the intersection of crypto and housing finance. Better and Coinbase have funded what they say is the first Fannie Mae-backed mortgage that allows borrowers to use Bitcoin as collateral instead of selling it for a down payment. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down how crypto-backed mortgages work, why lenders are exploring new ways to evaluate wealth, and what this could mean for homebuyers, real estate investors, and the future of mortgage lending.
