Blockchain and capital markets focus
Figure’s public materials repeatedly describe the company as Provenance Blockchain-native, with a strategy of moving capital markets activity on-chain. The company reports that it has originated tens of billions of dollars of loans on public blockchain and that its marketplace supports the origination, funding, sale, and trading of tokenized real-world assets, including home equity loans and other consumer credit products.

In addition to its role in lending and securitization, Figure has announced initiatives around blockchain-native equity. Through its On-Chain Public Equity Network (OPEN) and related offerings, Figure describes plans and filings for Series A Blockchain Common Stock or Blockchain Stock that would be issued and registered directly on blockchain, trade on Figure’s alternative trading system (Figure ATS), and be exchangeable on a one-for-one basis with its Nasdaq-listed Class A common stock. These efforts are presented as part of a broader goal to support on-chain public equity and blockchain-registered securities.
