FIGR_HELOC is the on-chain unit tracking Figure's tokenised home equity lines of credit on Provenance Blockchain. Ranked ninth by market value, about $21 billion, as of July 2026.

What it is

FIGR_HELOC is not a currency or a protocol token; it is the market’s window onto a loan book. A HELOC, a home equity line of credit, lets a homeowner borrow against the value built up in their property. Figure, the lending platform co-founded by Mike Cagney and June Ou in 2018, originates these loans with the records created and managed on Provenance Blockchain, and those tokenised loans are what the FIGR_HELOC listing represents. Figure says it has unlocked more than $25 billion in home equity for over 253,000 households, and claims a 75% market share in real-world asset tokenisation. One caveat: Figure’s public pages describe the lending platform rather than the ticker itself, so this page keeps to what Figure and CoinGecko publish.

How it works

The listing behaves like credit, not a coin. The unit price stays close to one dollar, and the supply, about 20.5 billion units in July 2026 (CoinGecko), moves with loan originations and repayments rather than a mining schedule. Figure Connect, the company’s marketplace, lets institutional buyers purchase and finance the tokenised loans; Figure states that around 40% of its HELOC volume now transacts there. The loans have backed securitisations rated AAA by S&P and Moody’s, in deals led by Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Barclays and Jefferies, which is the strongest external validation the model has received.

The story so far

Figure began in 2018 with the argument that home lending was slow and expensive because of paperwork, and that putting loan records on a purpose-built blockchain, Provenance, would strip the cost out. Lending came first; the capital-markets machinery followed, with Figure Markets adding an exchange and its Democratized Prime lending programme, and YLDS, which Figure describes as the first SEC-registered interest-bearing stablecoin. The arrival of FIGR_HELOC near the top of crypto rankings through 2025 and 2026 is itself the story: a pool of American home equity loans sitting among coins, the largest single example of the tokenised real-world asset trend.

Where it stands

As of late July 2026 FIGR_HELOC ranks ninth by market value at about $21 billion (CoinGecko), with units priced at about $1.04. It is a different creature from everything around it in the table: its value grows with lending volume, not sentiment. What to watch: whether Figure Connect draws other lenders on-chain, how regulators treat tokenised consumer credit, and whether ranking sites continue to count asset tokens alongside currencies. A caution for readers: this asset represents pools of consumer debt and trades chiefly through Figure’s own venue, so it behaves nothing like the coins that surround it, and it is not something to approach as if it were one.
