Better Mortgage and Coinbase launch Bitcoin-backed mortgages with collateral reuse
Better Mortgage and Coinbase introduced mortgages backed by Bitcoin collateral, with terms allowing Better to reuse pledged Bitcoin for other purposes and borrowers unable to recover crypto until the conventional mortgage is fully repaid or refinanced.
Why it matters for the crypto market
Bitcoin-backed lending products represent a new mainstream financial use case and credit infrastructure expansion, though with borrower protections raising questions about collateral custody arrangements.
