Newrez

Newrez, a major U.S. mortgage lender, will start recognizing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins as assets for certain nonagency loan programs from February onward, without requiring borrowers to sell them. This move allows digital holdings to count toward asset verification and income estimates, similar to traditional investments like stocks. The announcement reflects growing integration of crypto into mainstream finance amid a supportive regulatory environment.
