Figure<\/a> (FIGR) shares closed at $31.11 on its Sept. 11 Nasdaq<\/a> debut, gaining 24% from the $25 pre-sale price and establishing a $6.6 billion market cap with 211.66 million shares outstanding.<\/p>\n

The blockchain-native lending platform reached an intraday peak of $36.13, representing a 44.5% surge, before settling at closing levels.<\/p>\n

The debut proceeded without trading halts, contrasting with recent crypto IPOs<\/a>, including Circle<\/a> (CRCL) and American Bitcoin (ABTC), that faced volatility-driven suspensions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Figure's steady trading pattern reflected institutional confidence in the company's tokenized credit model and established lending operations.<\/p>\n

The company posted the milestone on X, stating<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“What began as an idea to reimagine capital markets through blockchain is becoming a reality with money moving faster, cheaper, and transparently. We're just getting started.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Competitive market position<\/h2>\n

Figure enters public markets as the smallest crypto firm by market cap among recent IPOs, trailing Bullish's $8.04 billion, American Bitcoin's $7.52 billion, Galaxy Digital's<\/a> $10.99 billion, and Circle's $30.74 billion.<\/p>\n

However, Figure maintains one of the lowest share counts at 211.66 million, with only Bullish issuing fewer shares at 148.91 million.<\/p>\n

VanEck<\/a> analyst Matthew Sigel projected Figure could double to $40 per share within 12 months in a Sept. 9 analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He noted that FIGR has potential upside to $60-75 over 18-24 months based on adoption and margin expansion. The firm operates the first scaled institutional-grade on-chain lending platform with $12 billion in loans outstanding and approximately $750 million in monthly originations.<\/p>\n

Figure's blockchain-native securitization model provides operational efficiencies over traditional lending platforms.<\/p>\n

Sigel pointed out that conventional AAA securitizations require 100% loan audits at $500 per loan.<\/p>\n

However, Figure's immutable loan-level data allows rating agencies to accept 25-30% sampling at $100 per loan, delivering approximately 100 basis points in lifecycle cost savings.<\/p>\n

The company controls roughly 2.9% of the $406 billion US home equity line of credit market on a stock basis and approximately 10% of incremental flow.<\/p>\n

Sigel estimated that Figure can sustain 30% revenue growth with 40% EBITDA margins, targeting $1.3 billion revenue and $520 million EBITDA by 2027.<\/p>\n

The successful debut validates institutional demand for blockchain-enabled financial infrastructure while positioning Figure as a scaled player in tokenized credit markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
