This bill would require federal agencies that oversee mortgage lending to update their systems so that banks and lenders must consider cryptocurrency holdings when deciding whether to approve home loans. Specifically, if you have digital assets like Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies sitting in a brokerage account at a crypto exchange, lenders would need to factor in the value of those holdings when evaluating your application for a mortgage. The agencies affected include the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (which oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). Lenders would have up to two years from when the bill becomes law to update their computer systems and lending guidelines to make this change. The idea behind the bill is to give borrowers credit for their crypto assets as part of their overall financial picture, potentially making it easier for people with significant cryptocurrency holdings to qualify for home loans.
