Better and Coinbase Launch Bitcoin-Backed Mortgage Product, Allowing Borrowers to Pay Down Payments Without Selling BTC

Odaily News - U.S. mortgage lender Better Mortgage and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase have announced the launch of a bitcoin-backed mortgage product that allows U.S. homebuyers to use BTC as collateral for their down payment loan, eliminating the need to sell their bitcoin holdings. The product is now officially open for applications.The product consists of a Fannie Mae-backed mortgage paired with a separate down payment loan. Borrowers are required to pledge BTC valued at least 250% of the down payment loan amount, with the collateral transferred to Better's custody account on Coinbase Prime. Both loans carry the same interest rate and amortization period, and are repaid through a single monthly payment.A decline in the bitcoin price will not independently trigger a margin call or alter the mortgage terms, but if a borrower falls 60 days or more behind on payments, Better may liquidate the pledged BTC. Applicants must be U.S. residents with a verified Coinbase account, and Coinbase One members can also earn a 1% rebate of up to $10,000, which can be applied toward closing costs and fees.
