Mortgage Qualification: Considering Crypto Exchange Brokerage Funds for Credit.

This bill mandates federal housing agencies (including HUD, VA, and FHFA) to update their mortgage underwriting rules. Lenders will now be required to consider U.S. dollar amounts held by borrowers in brokerage accounts associated with cryptocurrency exchanges during the credit evaluation process. This change aims to potentially broaden access to federal mortgages for individuals who hold liquid assets in the crypto ecosystem.
Key points
Federal mortgage programs (FHA, VA) must update rules for credit evaluation.
Lenders must count U.S. dollar balances held in brokerage accounts linked to crypto exchanges.
The goal is to potentially improve mortgage qualification for borrowers with crypto-related savings.
