A registration statement submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in October states that Figure, a San Francisco-based company, intends to establish Figure Certificate Company as a subsidiary.
CryptoCaster Quick Check:
“Figure Transferable Certificates,” which are transferrable digital asset securities priced at $0.01 per certificate, are what the subsidiary intends to issue. According to the figure, unless the holder chooses to opt out, the certificates will automatically be repaid with dollars each month and will accrue simple interest that is credited to the holder. Twenty years after the date of issuance, the certificates mature.
The Provenance Blockchain is an open-source platform that Figure uses for loan origination, equity management, private fund operations, and payment services. Provenance boasts of actively managed real assets worth over $9 billion on its chain.
If the SEC grants approval, the certificates will also be released on Provenance. The Figure Certificate Company’s investments in foreign securities, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, and fixed-income securities will yield interest to certificate holders.
The certificates are envisioned by Figure as stablecoin substitutes, along with a payment rail and a settlement currency.
“Certificate holders may use the Figure Transferable Certificates as an alternative to the stablecoins that are currently available in bearer form, without any yield, and not governed by the Investment Company Act.”

Billionaire owners like Elon Musk, Larry Fink (BlackRock), and Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan Chase) often have a strong influence on the hidden agendas surrounding the paradigm shift brought about by cryptocurrency and emerging Web3 technologies. CryptoCaster stands apart. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to please. Our journalism is dedicated to serving the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions, not profit motives.
We avoid the pitfall of much U.S. and global media, which often resorts to false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency guide everything we do, we recognize that there is a right and wrong stance in the fight against fiat global banking interests and the monetary reconstruction driven by the emerging crypto ecology.
When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance, and Ripple crises, we’re not afraid to name names and uncover the truth. As a crypto sentinel, we offer a fresh, outsider perspective on global monetary disruption—something often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.
