Better, Framework Ventures Strike $500M Stablecoin Mortgage Deal

Mortgage lender Better has partnered with crypto venture firm Framework Ventures to access up to $500 million in financing through the Sky stablecoin ecosystem, which has roots in MakerDAO. Better will act as a designated capital recipient, or “Star,” channeling real-world mortgage activity into decentralized finance (DeFi) using stablecoins, while continuing to handle underwriting and origination. This arrangement introduces tokenization opportunities at the loan-funding level, where capital raised via the crypto-native collateral system supports Better’s mortgage originations, effectively integrating real-world home loans into a blockchain-linked asset base. Better's CEO, Vishal Garg, stated they will be the first conforming mortgage originator to deploy tokenized capital to support mortgage assets at institutional scale, potentially lowering rates for consumers in the long term, according to Framework Ventures co-founder Vance Spencer.
