Figure technology’s Stellar IPO Fueling Cryptocurrency Market hype
Figure Technology’s stock soared by over 44% after it’s IPO, marking a significant milestone with a market cap exceeding $7.8 billion.
The stock was trading at $32 at press time,reflecting the massive excitement surrounding this event. The FIGR IPO raised an notable $787 million, which positions Figure Technology as a prominent player in the crypto industry.
This success story places Figure alongside other notable crypto firms, including Circle and Bullish, that have also secured substantial investments through IPOs. Gemini, owned by the Winklevoss twins, is set to join them soon by going public on September 12th.
At the heart of Figure Technology lies the home equity lending sector. In just the first half of the year, the company facilitated over $6 billion in loans, bringing in $190 million in revenue. This marks a significant increase from the $156 million reported in 2024.
- Revenue grew to $340 million in 2024, up from $209 million the previous year.
- Its profitability is evident with a net income of $29 million in the first six months of 2025.
However, there’s a looming concern.Several recent IPOs, like those of Circle, Bullish, and Klarna, have failed to maintain their initial gains. For instance, Circle’s stock price has fallen 56% since its peak this year.
Experts attribute these declines to diminishing momentum and early investor sales. As seen with Circle, top investors like Cathie Wood sold heavily following an initial surge.
Given this trend, some speculate that Figure’s stock might face similar challenges in the coming days.
