Figure Markets

We’re introducing the first-ever SEC-regulated, yield-bearing stablecoin: $YLDS ?Yield variable at SOFR minus 50bps (current ~3.85%) ?No staking or lockups? ?Buy/sell 24x7? It’s time for real assets with real value. Crypto shouldn’t only be gambling in the memecoin casino. Figure Markets – working with its sister company Figure Technologies – has been a leader in the real-world asset (RWA) space on blockchain, supporting over $41B in RWA transactions on Provenance Blockchain Foundation with over $11B in RWA total locked value on chain. $YLDS will add to that number. $YLDS, offered through Figure Markets’ wholly owned subsidiary, Figure Certificate Corporation, is a fixed-price, daily-accrual public security native to Provenance Blockchain. $YLDS can be transferred peer-to-peer, pays interest and is backed by the same securities held in prime money market funds. Our CEO Mike Cagney shares, “We see tremendous applications for $YLDS. Exchange collateral, cross border remit and payment rails are some of the immediate opportunities. But we see this as a catalyst to a much larger migration of tradfi to blockchain.” Available now for all users on Figure Markets & Provenance, including US residents & banks for the first time.

We’re thrilled to welcome Nicholas Santomauro as the new CMO of Figure Markets! Nick brings unmatched expertise as the former Head of Growth at Binance and Head of Marketing at Magic Eden. With his leadership, we’re taking our marketing game to the next level! ?? Nick on joining Figure Markets: "I'm tired of seeing marketing in the space be entirely about shilling vaporware; I commend those marketers for making something out of nothing, but it's time the industry moves towards providing real value and real-world use cases. I'm joining Figure Markets because that is what Mike Cagney and team are doing—putting real value on blockchain and allowing retail traders to grow out of the attention economy and into the on-chain value economy." Stay tuned, we’ve got some exciting developments in the pipeline!

After the results of FTX, Celsius, and BlockFi, exchanges like Binance and Coinbase still operate the same way. At Figure Markets, we’ve taken a different path: ?? MPC Wallets – Multi-Party Computation replaces centralized custody. Your assets are within your control, and no one entity holds your keys. ?? Cross-Chain Access – Trade across BTC, ETH, Provenance, and more—without compromising ownership. ?? Decentralized Infrastructure – Built to eliminate the risks of traditional custodianship. Our MPC-backed U.S. and global exchanges are already live*, and we’re building towards the future with new products, perpetuals, and more. Trustless, transparent, decentralized. That’s the way forward. *Geographic restrictions apply

In financial services, intermediaries rule. ?? Trading a stock? 7 parties sit between buyer and seller. ?? Swiping a debit card? 5 entities take a cut. What if it could be just buyer and seller? Blockchain makes that possible: ? Native digital assets you can trust—ownership, history, and composition. ? Bilateral transactions with no counterparty or settlement risk. ? Agnostic marketplaces that cut out unnecessary rent-seekers. This laid the foundation for Figure Markets ??
