Better and Coinbase have launched a crypto-backed mortgage product that lets US homebuyers pledge Bitcoin as collateral for a down payment without having to sell it.<\/p>\n

Better Mortgage and Coinbase have made their\u00a0Bitcoin-backed\u00a0mortgage product generally available, allowing US homebuyers to pledge Bitcoin as collateral for a down payment without selling it, the companies announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to Coinbase\u2019s Help Center, the product pairs a Fannie Mae-backed home loan with a separate down payment loan secured by Bitcoin (BTC). Borrowers must pledge BTC worth at least 250% of the down payment loan, with the pledged BTC transferred to Better\u2019s custodial account on Coinbase Prime.<\/p>\n

The two loans carry the same interest rate and amortization term and are repaid through a single monthly payment, Coinbase said. The pledged BTC is returned once the mortgage is fully repaid or refinanced, subject to the loan terms.<\/p>\n
