Founder of Binance on mortgage assets: 'The future American Dream will be to own 0.1 BTC'

The U.S. homeownership rate was 65.1% in the first quarter of 2025, representing a slight decline from recent years. As reported by the Federal Reserve Economic Data, the average sale price of new single-family homes climbed to $522,200 in May 2025. This value reflects ongoing pressures in the housing market, including inflation and constrained supply, underscoring persistent affordability challenges for American buyers.

According to SmartValor, Bitcoin’s value has skyrocketed by over 3,100% in the past five years, while U.S. median home prices saw a much slower annual growth of 3–5%. The median U.S. home price is now around $412,100 and has dropped from roughly 59 BTC in 2017 to just 11 BTC by 2022. This trend highlights the volatility and rapid gains seen in crypto relative to traditional assets.
