PANews reported on March 29 that economist Peter Schiff published an article on the X platform stating that cryptocurrency-backed mortgage structures could significantly increase the cost of homeownership. Borrowers would not only have to pay traditional mortgage interest but also the interest on a "second loan" secured by cryptocurrency assets. This model essentially amounts to 100% financing of the property, thereby amplifying leverage and potentially increasing overall default risk.

Previously, it was reported that Coinbase had launched its first compliant crypto-backed mortgage product, allowing users to use their Bitcoin or USDC in their Coinbase accounts as collateral to pay for a down payment on a home.
