🏦 Newrez LLC — one of the top five mortgage lenders in the U.S. — has announced a first-of-its-kind policy: starting February 2026, borrowers will be able to use eligible cryptocurrency holdings (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) in the mortgage qualification process without needing to sell them. This means:
✅ Crypto can now be counted toward income estimation and asset verification.
✅ Borrowers won’t be forced to liquidate holdings — preserving growth potential and tax positions.
✅ This applies across Newrez’s Smart Series non-agency mortgage products. �
