Why Figure is tipped for 56% stock spike amid second IPO

Figure, a $7.4 billion blockchain lender, is being tipped for a significant stock price increase despite a 22% decline over the last month.

On Friday, Bernstein analysts predicted that Figure’s stock price would rise 56% to $54 by the end of next year. The call comes on the heels of Figure’s last quarter performance, which saw the lender’s net revenue climb 42% to $156 million compared to the same period the previous year.

Figure’s co-founder and executive chairman, Mike Cagney, said the company was “killing it,” while dissecting last quarter’s financials.

And Bernstein’s tip seems to echo such sentiments even as its analysts say Figure is the “leading tokenisation platform for credit.”

Still, the optimism collides with a critical inflexion point for Figure as the blockchain lender prepares for a second public offering. The company raised approximately $800 million in an initial public offering in the US in September.

On Thursday, Figure announced that it had applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission for approval to sell a tokenised version of its stock. If approved, investors will be able to purchase crypto tokens that represent shares of Figure’s Class A Common Stock.

The tokenised stocks won’t be traded on a legacy exchange but on Figure’s own trading platform, according to the announcement. Cagney said the second IPO will be non-dilutive to shareholders since it’s an entirely secondary sale.

Investors who participate in the second IPO will receive their tokens on Provenance, a $1.5 billion blockchain.

However, bullishness for Figure comes with an asterisk.

In October, Heloc, a cryptocurrency that represents Figure’s home equity loans, slumped 81% in a flash crash that sent $13 billion worth of loans into a tailspin.

The token has since recovered to trade almost at par with Figure’s YLDS dollar stablecoin.

The incident highlighted concerns over the opacity of Figure’s blockchain lending business.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned

The post Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin presented the network’s new roadmap, which includes its short-, medium-, and long-term goals, at the Developer Conference held in Japan today. Scalability, cross-layer compatibility, privacy, and security were the prominent topics in Buterin’s speech. Buterin stated that the short-term focus will be on increasing gas limits on the Ethereum mainnet (L1). He said that tools such as block-level access lists, ZK-EVMs, gas price restructuring, and slot optimization will be used in this context. The goal is to maintain the network’s decentralization while increasing scalability. The medium-term goal is to enable trustless asset transfers between Layer-2 (L2) networks and achieve faster transaction finality. In this context, “Stage 2 Rollup” solutions, proof-of-conduct combinations, and optimizations for reading data from L1 are on the agenda. Furthermore, network optimizations such as shortening slot times, fast finality protocols, and erasure coding are planned to improve user experience and security. Buterin emphasized that privacy is a priority for both the short and medium term. Zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, anonymous pools, encrypted voting, and scrambling network solutions are highlighted to protect the privacy of users’ on-chain payments, voting, DeFi transactions, and account changes. Furthermore, secure execution environments, secret query techniques, and the ability to conceal fraudulent requests and data access patterns are also targeted when reading data from the chain. Buterin’s long-term vision highlights a minimalist, secure, and simple Ethereum. This roadmap includes resistance to the risks posed by quantum computers, securing the protocol with mathematical methods (formal verification), and transitioning to ideal cryptographic solutions. Buterin stated that these strategic steps will transform Ethereum into a more scalable, user-friendly, and secure infrastructure. With the strengthening of L2 networks, more users will be able to use Ethereum with less trust assumptions. The ultimate goal is for Ethereum to become a reliable foundational infrastructure for global…
