Figure (FIGR) gains as revenue doubles, blockchain loan marketplace volumes surge

Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR), the blockchain lending firm co-founded by former SoFi CEO Mike Cagney, more than doubled its revenue in the second quarter as lending activity surged across its marketplace

The company reported $226 million in net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, up 113% from a year earlier. Net income climbed 192% to $87 million, or 35 cents per diluted share, while adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $119 million.

Growth was driven by Figure’s Consumer Loan Marketplace, where volume reached $4.3 billion, up 132% from a year ago. Figure Connect, its marketplace connecting loan originators with capital providers, accounted for $2.8 billion, or about 65%, of that total.

FIGR shares rose roughly 5% in premarket trading on Thursday, extending Wednesday’s 10% gain.

Figure is one of the more established publicly traded companies trying to move lending and capital-market activity onto blockchain rails. Its platform connects loan originators with investors, using blockchain infrastructure to support the origination, financing and trading of assets such as home-equity loans.
