Figure promises to transform home equity loans

Unlike some other crypto-related investments, Figure is not a speculative project. Instead, it is a business that solves a real problem in consumer lending. Notably, home equity loans are typically slow and costly to approve.

Figure claims that it can originate home equity loans in 5 to 10 days, compared to the U.S. average of 42 days. The firm uses blockchain to track key credit data, including credit scores, home equity, and property valuations, and to keep this information transparent. Still, using technology to solve a problem that usually requires trained professionals raises questions, and Figure still has to prove its track record in the long run.
