Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will now include cryptocurrencies as assets in their risk assessments for single-family home loans. This decision, announced by the FHFA, allows borrowers to use crypto as collateral without converting to USD. The move reflects the growing mainstream acceptance of digital assets and aligns with the Trump administration's goal of making the US a global crypto leader. This follows similar trends of other financial institutions using crypto as collateral, signaling increasing integration of crypto into traditional finance.
