Figure: Brings Crypto-Collateralized Credit to US Investors

Figure is rolling out crypto-collateralized credit products that let U.S. investors pledge digital assets as collateral, a direct response to rising mainstream crypto ownership. The move converts volatile holdings into usable credit lines without forcing sales, extending services previously limited to institutions. Figure positions the offering as a bridge between blockchain holdings and traditional finance, targeting retail users who now hold crypto in larger numbers than at any point in the past twelve months.
