Coinbase, Better Mortgage Launch Bitcoin-Backed Mortgages

The move marks a notable step in bridging crypto wealth with traditional lending, but the real signal is how lenders price and manage Bitcoin's volatility as collateral. For Coinbase users, it unlocks liquidity without selling assets, yet the risk profile hinges on loan-to-value dynamics during sharp price swings. The open question is whether this product scales beyond a niche pilot or remains a high-risk experiment. Watch for how other platforms respond to the collateral model, and whether regulatory scrutiny follows this convergence of digital assets and housing finance.
