Due to the rising cost of housing in America, many young people now think they might not ever be able to afford a new house. But don't worry, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) could change all that and make home ownership a reality.
At the end of June, the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency issued a new directive, instructing both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to count Bitcoin as an asset on single-family home mortgage applications. Previously, mortgage applicants had to convert any Bitcoin holdings into U.S. dollars if they wanted their crypto to count.

This change affects almost no one. If being used towards the down payment then one is going to have to convert regardless ; no escrow company accepts crypto for settlement. I suppose if the lender is requiring reserves then you dont need to convert but thats very edge case-y. The main change already happened which was years ago which is counting crypto that was held in coinbase or some custodian as eligible source of assets at all ( assuming the custodian publishes monthly statements that meet guideline requirements).
Wake me up when self-custodied bitcoin can be signed for to confirm ownership, then used for settlement on property purchases.
