A cryptocurrency mortgage (also called a crypto-backed mortgage or crypto collateral loan) is a property loan secured against your digital assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies. This innovative financial solution allows borrowers to leverage their crypto holdings to finance residential or investment property purchases without selling their assets, preserving potential future gains.
Lenders assess the value of your crypto portfolio to determine the maximum loan amount while conducting a standard affordability assessment based on traditional income sources. Due to the volatility of cryptocurrencies, profits from crypto investments are typically excluded from affordability calculations, ensuring responsible lending.
