Newrez, a prominent mortgage lender, announced it will begin accepting cryptocurrency assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins to qualify borrowers for mortgages starting in February 2026. This program targets Gen Z and Millennial borrowers, allowing them to use digital asset holdings without liquidating, thus avoiding taxable events. The initiative requires all crypto assets to be held on regulated US exchanges or platforms, excluding self-custody wallets and DeFi holdings.
