Online home equity lending via blockchain

Overview

Figure is a financial technology company that provides online, blockchain-enabled access to home equity through products like HELOCs and mortgage refinancing. Its fully online application speeds funding to homeowners, often within five days, by streamlining the lending process and using blockchain to increase security and reduce costs. The company earns money from origination fees and interest on the loans, with competitive rates (as low as 3.49% APR). Its target market includes homeowners in multiple states (e.g., California, Florida, Texas, New York) and it plans to expand to more states. The goal is to simplify and accelerate home equity borrowing for homeowners while offering secure, efficient transactions and scalable nationwide coverage.

Figure's take rate drops to 3.6% as capital-light marketplace drives volume growth

Figure Technology Solutions beat second quarter 2026 estimates but saw its net take rate fall to 3.6%, at the lower end of its 3.5% to 4% guidance range. Management attributes the decline to structural shifts rather than pricing pressure. The drop stems from Figure Connect, the company's tokenised loan marketplace launched in June 2024, which now handles 65% of consumer loan marketplace volume, up from 42% a year earlier. Management expects this to reach 70% over the medium term. Connect earns the lowest take rate among Figure's three volume channels, as large partners increasingly bypass Figure as intermediary. Despite the lower take rate, adjusted net revenue of $218 million exceeded consensus estimates of $212 million. Ecosystem and technology fees became the largest revenue contributor for the first time. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 55% from 47% year-on-year.

Figure Technology CFO sells $15M stake under pre-scheduled trading plan

Figure Technology CFO Minchung Kgil sold 4,000 shares of Class A Common Stock on 12 August 2026 for approximately $120,000. The shares were sold at prices ranging between $30.00 and $30.06. The transaction was executed under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which Kgil adopted in December 2025. This type of plan allows company insiders to schedule stock sales in advance, demonstrating the sale was pre-planned rather than discretionary. Following the transaction, Kgil retains 491,651 shares, representing a 0.27% ownership stake in the company. The stock closed at $31.88 on 13 August 2026. Figure Technology Solutions operates blockchain-based platforms for consumer finance applications. The company has a market capitalisation of $6.9 billion and generated $709 million in trailing twelve-month revenue.

Figure Technologies' CEO on mortgage tech cutting costs 90% and closing loans in 5 days vs 45

Figure Technology CEO Michael Tannenbaum says his blockchain-based platform processes mortgages in as fast as five days for about $1,000, compared to the industry average of 45 days and $12,000. The company works with 500 partners who use its technology to originate mortgages and sell loans through Figure's capital-light marketplace, Figure Connect. The firm is acquiring Kiavi, the market leader in residential transition loans for investor-owned properties, which represent 25% of US housing stock. The acquisition will add 40% to Figure's volume and over $100 million in EBITDA when it closes in the second half of the year. Tannenbaum notes that Americans hold $35 trillion in home equity. With rising home prices and interest rates creating a lock-in effect, homeowners are increasingly tapping equity for improvements and debt refinancing.

Figure hits record $4.3B marketplace volume with 132% YoY growth, raises Kiavi bid to add $100M EBITDA

Figure Technology Solutions reported record marketplace volume of $4.3 billion in Q2 2026, marking 132% year-over-year growth. The company's strategic shift toward its Figure Connect platform now represents 65% of total volume, accelerating its transition to a capital-light, fee-based revenue model. Management attributes rapid partner growth to AI-enabled onboarding tools that reduced asset standardisation timelines from months to weeks. Partners originate 2.6 times more volume than their pre-platform baseline due to superior liquidity. The company guided Q3 volume between $4.8 billion and $5.2 billion. Figure is acquiring Kiavi, expected to close by year-end 2026, which should add approximately 40% to total volume and $100 million in incremental EBITDA. The company completed a $600 million senior notes offering at 8.5% to fund the acquisition.
