Bridged BTC (NEAR Intents) (BTC)

What if $BTC's 2025 high was an illusion once you adjust for the new mortgage-rate reality?

In 2025, even though BTC made new nominal all-time highs, this BTC/30year fixed mortgage chart did not.

Why? Mortgage rates had roughly doubled to the 6–7% zone.

Higher interest rates acted as a significant headwind (higher cost of capital, tighter liquidity, etc.).

The good news is that this chart looks to be at a major support zone now, which means rates are likely coming down
