SALT: Gen Z uses Bitcoin as collateral to buy homes
- —Gen Z's share of the U.S. new-home market is less than 5%
- —SALT Lending offers 5-year Bitcoin loans
- —Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have begun recognizing Bitcoin
- —Risks: collateral decline, margin calls, and loan cost
Why it matters: The growth of Bitcoin-backed lending expands demand for BTC as a financial asset but creates the risk of forced selling during a price crash.
