RE: Cryptocurrencies Break Through $500 Billion As People Make Death Pledges To Buy More

Maybe the word came from the combination of "mort", which means death, and "gage", which mean bet. It would be to bet your life on it.

The etymology of hypothèque is greek and is translated in french as a "gage", which is a bet.
