Blockchain lender Figure Technology reveals revenue surge in U.S. IPO filing
A crypto-friendly environment under the Trump administration and the blowout debut of stablecoin issuer Circle have set the stage for a flurry of listings from the digital asset industry.
Figure joins a growing list of crypto players looking to tap public markets this year. Winklevoss twins — Tyler and Cameron — crypto exchange, Gemini, also filed for New York IPO last week.
Figure's revenue surged 22.4% 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.
The New York-based company and some of its existing stockholders will sell shares in the offering.
"Crypto is becoming one of the big pillars of the IPO market, with more deals expected not only via IPO- but also through deSPAC transactions," said IPOX CEO Josef Schuster said, referring to companies going public through blank-check mergers.
Figure, co-founded in 2018 by technology entrepreneur Mike Cagney, is a blockchain-native platform that powers lending, trading, and investing in areas such as consumer credit and digital assets.
The company and its more than 160 partners have originated over $16 billion of home equity to date.
"Blockchain can do more than disrupt existing markets. By taking historically illiquid assets – such as loans – and putting these assets and their performance history on-chain, blockchain can bring liquidity to markets that have never had such," Cagney said in the filing.
"The IPO is one step in a long process to bring blockchain to all aspects of capital markets."
Cagney, who was also the co-founder of fintech SoFi, will continue to control a majority of Figure's voting power after the offering.
In 2021, Figure raised $200 million in a funding round at a $3.2 billion valuation.
Goldman Sachs, Jefferies and BofA Securities are the lead underwriters. Figure will list on the Nasdaq under the symbol "FIGR."

On Holding AG (ONON): I'm Double Minded About The Stock, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON) is an athletic apparel retailer whose stock has lost 18% year-to-date on the back of investor concerns about the broader retail industry. The shares dipped by 8% last week after Tapestry warned that it expected tariffs to hit its profits. Cramer discussed the movement in On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON)'s shares and warned that he might have been too bullish about the firm previously. Here is what he said: 'A lot of the apparel stocks are down off of Tapestry. I've got to tell you, I mean Ralph Lauren is too. But the one that I've been watching is On Holding. I thought On Holding had a good quarter. I've been either disabused of that notion or perhaps I've been too bullish about these guys. If ONON is not doing as well, then you have to start thinking about Nike again. ' Mbuso Sydwell Nkosi/ Here are his previous comments about On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON): 'One of my favorite companies is On Holding. Now it has been stuck in a holding pattern. They reported very good numbers today, the stock was initially up seven, now it's down. There's a substantial short position, the shorts have been winning in this battle. I think Roger Federer in the end wins. But it is a very contested group.' While we acknowledge the potential of ONON as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Uh, smart home push, including robots. Life like version of Siri, well that would certainly be helpful. Smart speaker with display and home security camera.
