Figure Technology Solutions has filed to go public, positioning itself as one of the biggest tokenization players to enter U.S. public markets.

What’s the Scoop?

  • IPO Plans: Figure submitted paperwork for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker FIGR. Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Bank of America are set to lead the deal.
  • Financials: The firm reported $191M in revenue for the first half of 2025, up 22% year-over-year, with $29.1M in net income.
  • Tokenization Leader: Figure operates Provenance, a blockchain for lending, which it says powers over $16B in loans and dominates tokenized private credit with more than 70% market share.
  • RWA Focus: Provenance has more than $11B in active loans, making it the largest real-world asset blockchain by value locked.
  • Valuation History: The company was last valued at $3.2B in a 2021 Series D round, though no target IPO valuation has been disclosed.

Bankless Take:

Nearly all of Figure lending activity (99%) comes from home equity lines of credits, making the business heavily correlated with broader economic conditions. While the firm's flashy blockchain backend should help it enjoy a jubilant IPO, Figure fundamentals suggest it should be valued similar to other fintech plays.
