Better and Coinbase’s bitcoin-backed mortgages can reuse borrowers’ collateral
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Better Mortgage and Coinbase have introduced a mortgage product backed by bitcoin that allows the lender to reuse the pledged collateral. Borrowers are unable to retrieve their cryptocurrency until the primary conventional mortgage is either fully paid off or refinanced.
WHY IT MATTERS
This financial arrangement introduces new risks by allowing lenders to reuse a borrower's digital asset collateral before the underlying mortgage is settled.
Better Mortgage can reuse the pledged bitcoin, and borrowers cannot recover their crypto until the main conventional mortgage is fully repaid or refinanced.
