Coinbase and Better Home & Finance announced a partnership on Thursday to launch a token-backed mortgage product. Designed to expand access to homeownership, the offering is backed by Fannie Mae just like other compliant mortgages.

Eligible U.S. individuals may now pledge Bitcoin or USDC as collateral to cover their cash down payment and qualify for a standard compliant mortgage, without having to sell their digital assets or trigger a taxable event.$BTC
