• Coinbase Global and Better Home & Finance have completed what they describe as the first Fannie Mae backed mortgage using Bitcoin as collateral.
• The structure allows a homebuyer to pledge Bitcoin held with Coinbase instead of selling crypto holdings to fund the purchase.
• The mortgage has received support from Fannie Mae, marking a new use case for crypto collateral in the US housing market.

For Coinbase Global (NasdaqGS:COIN), this comes at a time when the stock trades around $163.22, after declining 6.1% over the past week and 19.6% over the past month. Shares are also down 31.0% year to date and 36.2% over the past year, while still showing a very large gain over three years, even with a decline of 27.2% over five years.

For investors, it provides another concrete example of how the company can integrate its custody and platform capabilities into established financial products, which could influence how Coinbase is viewed relative to both crypto platforms and traditional financial institutions over time.
