U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte has directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to explore integrating cryptocurrencies into mortgage risk evaluations. The June 25 mandate requires the government-sponsored enterprises to draft proposals acknowledging digital assets as reserve assets—without mandatory conversion to U.S. dollars.

The policy shift aligns with former President Trump's push to establish the U.S. as a global crypto hub. Only cryptocurrencies held on U.S.-regulated centralized exchanges will qualify under the new framework. "This marks a watershed moment for both crypto and housing finance," Pulte stated, framing the move as a strategic evolution for institutional adoption.
