Blockchain Lender Figure Targets Nasdaq IPO Under ’FIGR’—Joins Crypto’s Wall Street Gold Rush
Blockchain Lender Figure Targets Nasdaq IPO Under ’FIGR’—Joins Crypto’s Wall Street Gold Rush

Another crypto player bets big on mainstream legitimacy—just as regulators sharpen their knives.
Wall Street or bust: Figure's Nasdaq listing bid signals DeFi's relentless march toward traditional finance. The blockchain-based lender aims to trade under the ticker 'FIGR,' riding the wave of crypto IPOs despite mounting regulatory headwinds.
Timing is everything—and terrible. With the SEC cracking down on crypto like a bartender at an open bar, Figure's move reeks of either brilliant opportunism or tone-deaf hubris. But hey, when has that ever stopped a fintech unicorn?
One thing's certain: The suits on Wall Street will lap this up like a cat with a bowl of cream—right until the next crypto winter freezes their assets.
