Better Home & Finance Holding (BETR) stock surged 11.10% on Tuesday after announcing its second major warehouse credit facility expansion in over a week. The company increased its facility by $100 million to $350 million, bringing total mortgage capacity to $850 million. CEO Vishal Garg attributed the growth to lender confidence in Better's AI-driven mortgage platform, though success will depend on housing market conditions and capital deployment strategy.

Fannie Mae has partnered with Better Home & Finance and Coinbase to allow borrowers to use Bitcoin or USDC as collateral for down payments on mortgages. Under the program, borrowers pledge crypto assets (held in Coinbase custody) as a second lien at a 40% loan-to-value ratio, avoiding capital gains taxes while unlocking home purchase value. This targets asset-rich, cash-poor younger households and represents a milestone in treating digital assets as acceptable support for conforming loans.

Better Home & Finance (BETR) shares rose 6.05% on Thursday following a partnership announcement with Coinbase Global (COIN) to offer token-backed mortgages. The innovative program allows Americans with crypto holdings to use Bitcoin or USDC as collateral for conforming mortgages without liquidating their assets, targeting the 52 million Americans who own digital assets.

Robinhood faces headwinds from declining trading volumes and high valuation multiples, raising concerns about future growth.
