Figure Shares Rocket 24% in Nasdaq Debut—Crypto Lender Defies Market Skeptics
Crypto lending just scored a Wall Street victory lap.
Figure's Nasdaq debut saw shares surge 24% above IPO pricing—defying the traditional finance crowd who still think blockchain is just for buying meme coins. The company's blockchain-powered lending platform clearly caught investor attention, proving institutional appetite for crypto-native financial services is very much alive.
While old-school banks debate digital asset custody, Figure just demonstrated that real-world crypto applications can deliver real-world returns. The 24% pop signals more than just a successful IPO—it's a validation of crypto's evolving role in mainstream finance.
Guess those 'boring' lending protocols just became more exciting than your average hedge fund.
