Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin (ticker: BTC) launched in 2009 as the first decentralized cryptocurrency. It runs on a public blockchain where transactions are validated by proof-of-work mining, and there's a hard cap of 21 million coins that will ever exist.
For U.S. mortgage purposes, Bitcoin is the most commonly accepted crypto collateral because of its 15+ year trading history, deep liquidity, and relative price stability compared to smaller cryptocurrencies.
