Figure files for 10th ABS deal in 2026, surpassing major banks in securitization volume
The blockchain-native lender has now completed at least 30 rated HELOC securitizations, outpacing traditional Wall Street institutions in deal count this year
Figure Technology Solutions, the blockchain-native lender trading on Nasdaq under the ticker FIGR, has filed for its tenth home equity line of credit asset-backed securities deal of 2026. That filing pace puts the company ahead of most traditional banks in ABS issuance volume this year, a remarkable position for a firm that closed its first rated HELOC ABS deal just three years ago.
The numbers behind the filing spree
The latest transaction is being issued under the FIGRE Trust shelf, a structure Figure has used for its entire 2026-HE series of deals. The securities are backed by pools of prime and near-prime HELOCs originated on Figure’s platform.
This tenth deal of the year brings Figure’s total count of rated HELOC securitizations to at least 30. That is a staggering number for a company that started with a $149 million deal back in 2020.
SEC ABS-15G filings and preliminary assessments from rating agencies including S&P and Morningstar DBRS confirm the momentum. Both agencies have been involved in presale evaluations of the 2026-HE series transactions.
Figure’s entire lending operation runs on blockchain infrastructure, handling everything from loan origination to servicing. That technology backbone allows the company to move faster than legacy systems typically permit.
Why a blockchain lender is eating Wall Street’s lunch
The broader ABS market in 2026 has been robust across consumer finance, which helps explain why there is appetite for these securities. Institutional investors are hungry for yield and liquidity, and housing-backed securities with prime or near-prime credit quality check both boxes.
Figure has also been active with its $YLDS token, which represents a further integration of crypto infrastructure into its lending ecosystem. Preliminary operating data from May 2026 showed growth in loan marketplace volume alongside continued circulation of the $YLDS token.
What this means for investors
For the crypto crowd, Figure represents one of the clearest real-world use cases for blockchain in financial services. It is a Nasdaq-listed company filing SEC-regulated securities backed by real home equity loans, all originated on blockchain infrastructure.
There are risks worth watching. HELOC performance is tied to housing market health, and any deterioration in home values or borrower credit quality would directly impact the securities Figure is issuing. The fact that these are prime and near-prime loans provides a buffer, but no credit product is immune to macroeconomic stress.
Ten deals in roughly half a year is aggressive by any standard. Investors in these securities will want to see that underwriting standards are holding steady as volume scales. Rating agency involvement from S&P and Morningstar DBRS provides some oversight, but the ultimate test comes when the loans season and payment performance data accumulates over time.
Figure’s journey from a $149 million debut deal in 2020 to 30 rated securitizations by mid-2026 is one of the more compelling growth stories at the intersection of crypto and traditional finance.
