Can Bitcoin save the U.S. housing market? The crisis deepens, Federal Housing Finance Agency's crypto mortgage lending initiatives attract attention

Searches on Google for Mortgage Help have exceeded the levels during the 2008 financial crisis, reflecting the growing pressure on housing in the United States. Mortgage costs have risen 91.9% since 2019, while revenue has risen by only 21.9%, and overdue rents have also risen sharply.
