The Federal Housing Finance Agency's director, Bill Pulte, has asked Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC) to prepare for cryptocurrency's inclusion as an asset in mortgage-related risk assessment.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to begin considering cryptocurrency assets when evaluating mortgage applicants. Only crypto assets trackable on a U.S.-regulated centralized exchange will be eligible,

After saying that the FHFA would study the use of crypto in mortgages, Pulte followed up two days later with a directive to the GSEs.
