Ark Invest, a leading investment management firm led by Cathie Wood, has highlighted a pivotal development set to bridge the world of blockchain-based capital with the substantial U.S. mortgage market.
What Happened: According to Nick Grous, an associate portfolio manager at Ark Invest, the recent directive from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) instructing Fannie Mae (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>) to consider cryptocurrency holdings, such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), for mortgage loan risk assessments marks &#8220;crypto's first step into U.S. housing: from wallets to mortgages.&#8221;
&#8220;This directive introduces a novel bridge between blockchain-based capital and the $12 trillion U.S. mortgage market,&#8221; Grous notes.
Looking at the potential scale, Grous references iEmergent's 2024 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data, which reported around &#8220;6 million mortgage originations in the U.S. last year, valued at $1.82 trillion.&#8221;
Based on an average loan size of approximately &#8220;$340,000,&#8221; Ark Invest&#8217;s analysis suggests that &#8220;if just 5% of mortgage borrowers included crypto-based assets in their applications, ~305,000 would qualify for a mortgage in this new framework—supporting $100 billion in originations.&#8221;
He further projects that &#8220;each additional percentage point of adoption would increase mortgage loan volume by ~$20 billion.&#8221;
This regulatory development, according to Ark Invest, &#8220;aligns with ARK's thesis that crypto will reshape legacy financial systems with greater transparency, automation, and interoperability.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The FHFA&#8217;s directive, issued last week, represents a significant shift.
It allows for the inclusion of cryptocurrency holdings, specifically &#8220;only those held on U.S.-regulated centralized exchanges,&#8221; as assets in single-family mortgage loan risk assessments.
Crucially, this directive &#8220;does not require converting crypto to U.S. dollars and does not include crypto held in self-custodied wallets.&#8221;
It also mandates &#8220;risk controls, like accounting for crypto market volatility and limiting how much crypto can count toward reserves,&#8221; signaling a cautious yet forward-looking approach to integration.
Last week, Strategy Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) Michael Saylor stepped forward to offer Strategy&#8217;s (formerly MicroStrategy) <a href="http://46089173/michael-saylor-offers-btc-credit-model-as-bill-pulte-pushes-crypto-for-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-could-bitcoin-soon-count-toward-mortgage-qualification">Bitcoin Credit Model</a> to support the initiative. 
Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Policy Institute <a href="https://www.btcpolicy.org/articles/the-powerful-fannie-mae-policy-change-to-unlock-bitcoin-based-mortgages">hails</a> this as a potential game-changer, stating that a tweak to Fannie Mae&#8217;s Selling Guide to recognize Bitcoin as collateral could unlock homeownership for millions, aligning with Donald Trump&#8217;s vision to make the U.S. the &#8220;Bitcoin Capital of the planet.&#8221;
Price Action: Fannie Mae shares ended 1.95% lower on Monday. It has risen by 177.33% on a year-to-date basis and 553.42% over the past year.
On the other hand, Freddie Mac declined 1.55% on Monday, and it has risen by 144.51% on a year-to-date basis and 505.88% over the past year.
After hitting fresh records on Friday and Monday, on Tuesday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, were lower in premarket. The SPY was down 0.18% at $616.74, while the QQQ declined 0.26% to $550.18, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
