Figure has submitted an application to the SEC to tokenize stocks on Solana.

BlockBeats News, December 12th, Figure Board Executive Chairman Mike Cagney announced at the Solana Breakpoint Conference, "About a week and a half ago, we released another update - essentially a second IPO. We are natively issuing a new version of Figure equity on a public chain.

This issuance will not go through the DTCC, nor will it trade on Nasdaq or the NYSE, nor will it rely on referral brokers like Robinhood, nor will it rely on institutions like Goldman Sachs for prime brokerage services.

This is a blockchain-native security, traded on Figure's own Alternative Trading System (ATS), essentially a decentralized trading platform: self-custody, self-trade, self-regulated market.

Investors will be able to link this type of security to an ATS wallet, rather than a traditional referral brokerage account; then they can use this equity in DeFi for operations such as collateralized borrowing and lending."
