BREAKING: U.S. Regulators Push Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac to Explore Crypto Asset Holdings

Washington shakes up the mortgage game—again. The FHFA just dropped a bombshell directive telling housing giants Fannie and Freddie to start evaluating crypto assets. No more hiding behind 'volatility' excuses.

Why now? With Bitcoin flirting with $100K and institutional adoption skyrocketing, even bureaucrats can't ignore the math. The memo didn't specify BTC or ETH—just 'digital assets'—leaving room for the usual regulatory waffling.

Industry insiders whisper this could open floodgates for crypto-backed mortgages. Imagine refinancing your house with Bitcoin collateral. Or watching your down payment moon 20% before closing. What could possibly go wrong?

One Wall Street vet quipped: 'Finally, a way to make housing markets even more unstable!' The FHFA insists this is just 'exploratory'—but since when do government agencies explore anything without political pressure?

Watch for pushback from anti-crypto lawmakers. And pray the Fed doesn't start accepting mortgage payments in memecoins.
