Figure has closed a $300 million prefunded securitization on its blockchain-based marketplace, marking a notable step in the application of distributed ledger technology to structured mortgage finance.
What the SEC Filing Confirms
The transaction, a $300 million prefunded securitization, was documented in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing identifies Figure Technology Solutions as the entity behind the deal. For related coverage, see Bybit Announces BOTUSDT Perpetual Contract Listing With Up to 20x Leverage.
A prefunded securitization allows the issuer to raise capital before the underlying loans are fully originated. Investors commit funds upfront, and the issuer deploys that capital into qualifying assets, in this case mortgages, over a defined ramp-up period.

This structure gives lenders like Figure faster access to liquidity while providing investors exposure to a diversified pool of loans as it is built out. For related coverage, see UK Crypto Investors Sue Binance, CZ for $200M Claim.
Why the Blockchain Marketplace Matters
What distinguishes this deal from a conventional mortgage securitization is the infrastructure it runs on. Figure executed the transaction through its blockchain marketplace, which handles loan origination, servicing records, and investor settlement on a distributed ledger.
According to a HousingWire report, Figure’s platform connects originators and capital markets participants through blockchain rails. The approach is designed to reduce the intermediary layers, paperwork delays, and reconciliation costs that characterize traditional securitization pipelines.
For institutional investors, the blockchain component offers a transparent record of loan-level data and real-time visibility into the collateral pool as it is funded. This stands in contrast to the opacity that has historically surrounded portions of the non-agency mortgage market.
Figure’s Broader Push Into Blockchain-Based Capital Markets
The $300 million securitization fits within a larger strategic effort by Figure to bring blockchain infrastructure to mortgage lending. Earlier, Figure Technology Solutions and Sixth Street announced a joint venture aimed at bringing over $2 billion of liquidity to the non-agency mortgage market.
That partnership was designed to provide through-the-cycle stability for non-agency lending, an area where liquidity can dry up during periods of market stress. The securitization announced now represents one concrete output of Figure’s capital markets buildout.
The deal also arrives as regulatory frameworks for digital assets continue to take shape globally, with lawmakers in multiple jurisdictions working to clarify how blockchain-based financial products fit within existing securities law. Figure’s SEC-filed securitization demonstrates that blockchain-native transactions can operate within established regulatory channels rather than outside them.
As traditional finance firms increasingly explore blockchain and crypto industry infrastructure, Figure’s completed securitization provides a concrete case study. The deal shows that blockchain rails can support institutional-scale structured finance, not just retail token trading, moving the technology closer to the core plumbing of capital markets.
