Fannie Mae Embraces Crypto-Backed Mortgages Through New Two-Loan Model

Fannie Mae will start accepting crypto-backed mortgages through a Better Home & Finance and Coinbase product, allowing borrowers to pledge crypto as collateral for a second loan to cover the down payment while the crypto remains in custody and cannot be traded; although borrowers incur two loan payments, the program offers potentially lower rates and no private mortgage insurance on the second loan, signaling a first compliant step toward tokenized-asset financing in real estate.

Trump sides with crypto firms to push stalled crypto regulation through Senate

President Donald Trump accused Wall Street banks of blocking landmark cryptocurrency legislation and urged a deal with the crypto industry to move a stalled Senate market-structure bill. The core dispute revolves around whether exchanges should offer yield-bearing programs on stablecoins, with banks pushing to ban such yields and crypto firms seeking regulatory clarity. The White House is mediating the talks, and Trump privately backed Coinbase’s position after meeting its CEO, signaling support for allowing crypto rewards. While the administration hopes to resolve the disagreement, the bill’s passage remains uncertain as discussions continue past deadlines.

Coinbase Goes Lo-Fi Karaoke for Super Bowl Ad, Aiming to Make Crypto Relatable

Coinbase returns to the Super Bowl with a spare 60-second lo-fi spot that plays like a bar karaoke screen, featuring minimalist animation and lyrics from the Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).” Executives say the restrained, no-frills approach is designed to stand out amid celebrity-filled ads, create a communal singalong moment, and show that crypto can appeal beyond techies, hoping viewers will look up crypto after the spot.

Crypto lobby tightens grip on Capitol as Congress battles over market structure bill

Molly White argues Issue 99 shows Coinbase withdrawing support for the Senate’s crypto market structure bill, prompting cancellation of a markup and illustrating the crypto industry’s outsized influence over lawmakers and drafting. The piece weaves in related crises and regulatory shifts—ethics fights, enforcement moves, Trump-linked crypto ties, and high-profile incidents like Eric Adams’ NYC Token—paints a picture of a Congress increasingly reactive to industry funding and agendas, with calls for stronger consumer protections and transparency still circulating.

Bermuda bets on a fully on-chain economy with Coinbase and Circle

Bermuda unveiled a plan, announced at Davos, to transform the island into a fully onchain economy by partnering with Coinbase and Circle to deploy digital asset infrastructure across government, banks, businesses, and consumers. The initiative centers on piloting stablecoin payments (USDC), expanding USDC adoption, and supporting tokenization and digital finance education, with a non-exclusive approach that could attract additional technology partners while lowering costs and broadening access to global finance.

Coinbase derails crypto regulation with last-minute CLARITY Act reversal

Coinbase withdrew its support for the Senate CLARITY Act at the last minute, triggering industry backlash as peers urged the bill’s negotiation. The act would define what counts as securities vs. commodities and establish regulatory duties for firms, but with a tight election timetable and ongoing lobbying, its passage remains uncertain and could shape U.S. crypto regulation for years.

Crypto Dip Hits Pause as US Regulation Hurdle Delays Bill

Bitcoin hovered around $95,700 after a daily decline as the Senate Banking Committee postponed a hearing on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act following Coinbase’s withdrawal of support; Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong called the bill worse than the status quo, citing issues such as a ban on tokenized stocks and limits on stablecoin rewards. Ethereum and XRP also slipped. Despite the delay, crypto markets have been resilient and are awaiting clearer regulatory direction, though an immediate breakthrough remains unlikely.

Scott delays Senate crypto bill markup as industry pushes back

Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott postponed a scheduled markup of landmark cryptocurrency legislation after pushback from Coinbase and other crypto firms, signaling uncertain bipartisan support. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong argued the draft would worsen the status quo and could undermine CFTC authority while raising concerns about stablecoin rewards, prompting questions about amendments that banks want. With lawmakers from both parties negotiating changes, it’s unclear when Scott will reconvene the markup, though Senator Cynthia Lummis pressed for continuing work on the bill.
