Does Form 1099-DA replace a proof-of-funds statement?

No. 1099-DA reports disposal proceeds to the IRS; it does not show your current wallet balance or full transaction history for an underwriter. Mortgage and rental decisions still need a dated statement of holdings and inbound activity.

What do Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require for crypto down payments?

For Fannie Mae loans, virtual currency must be exchanged into US dollars and held in a US- or state-regulated financial institution before it can be used for the transaction. The lender must verify the funds in dollars; the applicable asset-verification rules determine the required statement period. A wallet report can supplement, but not replace, the regulated-account and exchange records.

Can I use the same statement for my CPA and my lender?

Yes. Export PDF for human review and CSV for your tax preparer. Align the date range with the tax year or mortgage application window your counterparty specifies.

Why 1099-DA created a documentation gap

Starting with tax year 2025, brokers issue Form 1099-DA for digital asset disposals. That helps Schedule D reconciliation but does not help a loan officer understand self-custody balances on Ethereum or Bitcoin addresses you control outside a brokerage.

A wallet-level statement closes that gap: it shows public on-chain activity with USD equivalents at transaction time, independent of any single exchange.

Mortgage vs tax use cases

For tax filing, pair your 1099-DA with wallet statements for activity brokers did not see. For mortgages, pair wallet statements with bank statements showing fiat deposits after any sale — and document the sale transaction hash if asked.

Specialist crypto-mortgage lenders may accept on-chain collateral directly; confirm documentation requirements with your loan officer before applying.

Rental applications in the US

Landlords often apply a 3x monthly rent income rule. Crypto income does not appear on W-2s or typical bank deposits. A 6–12 month wallet statement showing consistent inbound USDC or regular conversions strengthens an application — especially in markets with high freelance and remote-worker tenancy.
