About

Figure Technology Solutions Inc is building the future of capital markets using blockchain-based technology. Figure’s proprietary technology powers next-generation lending, trading and investing activities in areas such as consumer credit and digital assets. Our application of the blockchain ledger allows us to better serve our end-customers, improve speed and efficiency, and enhance standardization and liquidity.

Figure generates revenue through multiple streams including origination fees, gain on sale of loans, servicing fees, and interest income from assets generated through its Loan Origination System. The company also earns ecosystem and technology fees from partners using its technology solutions and volume-based fees from users transacting on its platform, particularly through Figure Connect and other marketplace offerings. Revenue is derived from both Figure-originated loans and those originated by its network of partners.

The company operates through the following segments: Lending and Markets Holdings.

• Lending originates, sells, and securitizes home equity line of credit (HELOC) loans that it services. Lending offers Figure Connect which generates ecosystem and technology fees.

• Markets Holdings utilized blockchain technology to develop an exchange for digital assets and credit, with new product offerings including providing interest-bearing stablecoin deposits.

Figure Technology Solutions Inc distinguishes itself in the financial technology sector through its blockchain-based platform that displaces legacy infrastructure at each stage of the loan lifecycle. The company competes favorably based on speed and ease of use, overall customer experience, partner satisfaction, flexibility and scalability, competitive pricing, efficient and transparent capital markets access, and brand awareness across its ecosystem. Its regulatory and licensing apparatus, including over 180 lending and servicing licenses, 48 money transmitter licenses, and SEC-registered broker-dealer status with authority to operate an alternative trading system, sets it apart from competitors and enables expansion of its diverse product offering.

Figure serves a diverse customer base including individual consumers seeking home equity loans and personal loans, financial institution partners that use its technology to originate loans, and marketplace participants such as loan originators, buyers, and investors on its Figure Connect platform. The company also serves institutional investors through products like YLDS and Democratized Prime, which cater to users seeking yield-generating opportunities and decentralized finance solutions.

Investment Thesis

▲ Bull case

Figure Technology Solutions is positioned to capitalize on a structural shift in the mortgage market by pioneering first-lien origination in the sub-$300,000 segment, a greenfield opportunity where no meaningful competition existed historically. The company’s proprietary technology reduces origination costs to $1,000 per loan versus an industry average of $11,500, creating a 91% cost advantage that is most impactful on smaller balances. This cost efficiency, combined with the 25x larger addressable market of first-lien loans compared to second-lien HELOCs, enables Figure to capture share not by displacing incumbents but by expanding the total addressable market through new customer acquisition—particularly among fintechs, home improvement companies, and underserved borrowers. Management’s focus on this segment is validated by the 20% of total volume now comprising first-lien loans, up from 14% year-over-year, and the strategic onboarding of Flagstar Bank as the largest bank originator on the platform. The partnership with Cross River to fund Crypto-Backed Loans further diversifies revenue streams into high-growth digital asset lending, tapping into a latent demand for liquidity without asset liquidation. This initiative, combined with the 80% quarter-over-quarter growth in Democratized Prime and YLDS balances, signals successful monetization of blockchain-native DeFi infrastructure. The company’s AI-driven efficiency gains—evidenced by a 25% increase in engineering productivity and 70% uplift in customer chat containment—are lowering variable costs to 74 basis points of volume from 93 basis points prior year, even as product complexity increases. These operational improvements, coupled with formal Q2 2026 guidance for $3.8–$4.1 billion in consumer loan marketplace volume (representing ~40% sequential growth from Q1), reflect management’s growing confidence in predictable scaling patterns. The Rule of 140 achievement—over triple the benchmark of 40—demonstrates that revenue growth and margin expansion are reinforcing each other, a rare combination in high-growth fintechs. Most critically, the retention of $350 million in loans on balance sheet to support Democratized Prime is a deliberate, high-conviction investment that is already generating network effects, with lender supply now exceeding borrower demand at 1.2x. This supply-demand balance, combined with the onboarding of third-party borrowers like Credibly and a DSCR originator, suggests the DeFi marketplace is transitioning from a cost center to a self-sustaining profit engine, setting the stage for margin expansion beyond the current 50% adjusted EBITDA level.

▼ Bear case

Figure Technology Solutions faces significant execution risk in its ambition to transition from a loan originator to a full-stack blockchain capital market ecosystem, particularly as management’s narrative increasingly relies on unproven DeFi monetization models that lack clear near-term profitability. While Democratized Prime and YLDS balances grew 80% quarter-over-quarter, the economic model remains dependent on capturing a spread over SOFR—currently estimated at just 35 basis points—meaning that even at the $598 million YLDS balance, annualized interest income would be only ~$2.1 million, a fraction of the $167 million adjusted net revenue reported in Q1. The company’s deliberate retention of $350 million in loans on balance sheet to support this DeFi marketplace has already increased interest expense by approximately $2 million quarter-over-quarter, dragging down adjusted EBITDA margin by 1.4 percentage points, with no clear timeline for when this drag will reverse. Management’s assumption that “scale will come quickly and handsomely” echoes past optimistic projections in blockchain finance that have repeatedly failed to materialize due to insufficient institutional adoption and regulatory uncertainty. The Cross River forward-flow agreement for Crypto-Backed Loans, while presented as a validation, involves a relatively modest $250 million commitment—less than 10% of Q1 marketplace volume—and does not guarantee sustainable demand, especially as crypto lending remains vulnerable to volatility and regulatory scrutiny. Furthermore, the company’s take rate of 3.8%, while within guidance, masks a concerning mix shift: as first-lien volume grows (now 20% of total), the lower take rate on these larger loans is offset by higher absolute profit per loan, but this dynamic relies on sustained volume growth in a segment where origination costs, though low, are not zero, and any slowdown in partner onboarding or macroeconomic headwinds could quickly erode contribution margins. The reliance on “Wale” partners—defined as those generating $50 million+ per month—creates concentration risk, as the loss of even one such partner (e.g., the one that generated over $150 million in Q1) would represent a material volume shock. Finally, the company’s foray into OPEN, its on-chain public equity network, remains largely aspirational; despite issuing a second public registration statement, there is no evidence of meaningful trading volume or DeFi utilization, and the opportunity to displace legacy systems like DTCC faces significant regulatory, liquidity, and network effect barriers that management has not adequately addressed. Without clearer near-term monetization pathways for its DeFi and equity verticals, the market may be overestimating the speed at which Figure’s blockchain ecosystem can transition from a promising infrastructure project to a consistently profitable, scalable business.
