Mike Cagney's Figure Technology reveals revenue surge in US IPO filing
The company, co-founded in 2018 by technology entrepreneur Mike Cagney and his wife June Ou, is a blockchain-native capital marketplace that connects origination, funding, and secondary market activity.
The New York-based company and some of its existing stockholders plan to sell shares in the offering.
With the IPO calendar set for a seasonal slowdown through the end of August, corporate issuers are lining up for a potential roadshow launch after Labor Day when the new listings market kicks back into action.
Winklevoss twins' crypto exchange, Gemini, also publicly filed for New York IPO last week.
Figure's revenue surged 22.4 per cent to $191 million in the six months ended June 30. The company reported a profit of $29 million, compared with a loss of $13 million in the same period a year earlier.
Cagney was also the co-founder of fintech SoFi and stepped down as the firm's CEO in 2018.
Figure's loan origination system and capital marketplace is used by more than 160 partners.
In 2021, Figure raised $200 million in a funding round at a$3.2 billion valuation. Earlier this month, Figure said it had confidentially filed for a New York IPO.
Goldman Sachs, Jefferies and BofA Securities are the lead underwriters for the offering.
Figure will list on the Nasdaq under the symbol "FIGR". Proceeds from the offering will be used for general purposes.

Oil prices gain as US inventory withdrawals point to strong demand
TOKYO :Oil prices gained slightly on Thursday as larger-than-expected declines crude oil and fuel inventories in the U.S., the world's biggest oil user, supported expectations for steady demand. Brent crude futures were up 13 cents, or 0.19 per cent, to $66.97 a barrel at 0055 GMT, after gaining 1.6 per cent in the previous session. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose 15 cents, or 0.24 per cent, to $62.86, after climbing 1.4 per cent on Wednesday. U.S. crude inventories fell by 6 million barrels last week to 420.7 million barrels, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday, versus analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a 1.8 million-barrel draw. Gasoline stocks dropped by 2.7 million barrels, versus expectations for a 915,000-barrel draw, the EIA said, indicating steady driving demand during the summer travel season. That was also seen in a jump in the four-week average for jet fuel consumption to its highest since 2019. "Crude oil prices rebounded as signs of strong demand in the U.S. boosted sentiment," Daniel Hynes, senior commodity strategist at ANZ, said in a note on Thursday. Still, Hynes cautioned that some "bearish sentiment remains evident as traders continue to monitor negotiations to end Russia's war against Ukraine." Russia said on Wednesday attempts to resolve security issues relating to Ukraine without Moscow's participation were a "road to nowhere," as U.S. and European military planners have begun exploring post-conflict security guarantees for Ukraine. The drawn-out efforts to secure peace in Ukraine mean that Western sanctions on Russian oil supply continue to remain in place. The possibility of further U.S. sanctions and tariffs on Russian oil buyers also hang over the market. Russia, however, remains adamant it will keep providing crude to willing buyers, with Russian diplomats in India saying on Wednesday the country expects to continue supplying oil to India despite warnings from the U.S. U.S. President Donald Trump has announced an additional tariff of 25 per cent on Indian goods from August 27 because of their Russian crude purchases. The European Union has also sanctioned Indian private refiner Nayara Energy, which is backed by Russian oil company Rosneft. Indian refiners initially backed off their Russian buying but company officials at state-run Indian Oil and Bharat Petroleum have bought Russian oil for September and October delivery, resuming purchases after discounts widened.

Messi's Miami in Leagues Cup quarters as new format fuels goals, ratings surge
The Leagues Cup 2025 has reached its quarter-final stage, with four enticing MLS-Liga MX matchups set for Wednesday, showcasing the tournament's revamped format that has seen more goals and boosted commercial interest and fan engagement. Lionel Messi's Inter Miami headline the quarter-final contenders, while Mexican powerhouse Tigres UANL and MLS outfit Seattle Sounders are also among the favourites heading into the last eight. Through Phase One of the tournament, average match viewership reached 1.43 million, up 62 per cent from 2024, across MLS Season Pass, Apple TV+, linear broadcasters in North America, and third-party platforms, organisers told Reuters on Wednesday. Corporate sponsor revenue is up 13 per cent year-on-year, with Walmart and Ocean Spray added as new partners. Digital and social media consumption has also risen sharply, organisers said. On the pitch, the absence of draws and penalty shootouts following 90 minutes has led to an average of 3.37 goals per game. This figure surpasses regular-season scoring rates in MLS, Liga MX and several leading European leagues, according to organisers. "It really starts with the competition and this new format," Leagues Cup executive director Thomas Mayo told Reuters. "The level of play is very high. They're all arm in arm at the penalty shootouts and there's some real emotion. It means a lot to them. It's a tough competition." This year's tournament features all 18 Liga MX teams and 18 qualifying MLS teams and the four quarter-finals will pit MLS clubs against Liga MX opponents, reinforcing the cross-border rivalry at the heart of the competition's redesign. Matches between the two leagues have been closely contested, with points shared evenly between MLS and Liga MX sides. Attendance figures are tracking closely with the 2024 edition, and organisers anticipate good crowds for Wednesday's games. The tournament's stakes are high, with automatic qualification for the Concacaf Champions Cup guaranteed for the winner of the third-place match and both finalists. The champion will secure direct entry into the Champions Cup Round of 16.
