# Economist Warns of Increased Housing Costs Due to Crypto-Backed Mortgages

Economist Peter Schiff has expressed concerns about the potential rise in housing costs associated with crypto-backed mortgage structures. According to Foresight News, Schiff highlighted that borrowers would face not only traditional mortgage interest but also additional interest from secondary loans secured by crypto assets. This approach effectively results in 100% financing for properties, increasing leverage and potentially elevating overall default risk.
