According to PANews, blockchain lending company Figure Technology Solutions has confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), aiming to go public later this year. Founded by former SoFi CEO Mike Cagney, Figure has played a significant role in the real-world asset (RWA) sector, issuing over $16 billion in home equity credit lines through the Provenance blockchain. Last month, the company announced a merger with Figure Markets, also founded by Cagney, which operates a blockchain-based market and has issued a yield-bearing stablecoin functioning as a tokenized money market fund (YDLS).
