Figure Technology just filed with the SEC to issue native equity directly on Solana—we're talking actual primary shares, not wrapped tokens. What makes this wild is the dual-nature design: these shares trade as traditional NASDAQ stocks while simultaneously functioning as DeFi collateral. Holders can deposit their $FIG positions into Kamino vaults and borrow stablecoins against their equity stake. This blurs the line between traditional finance and decentralized finance in a way we haven't seen at scale before. Worth noting that JPMorgan has been testing debt mechanisms around this structure. The move signals how institutional finance is starting to experiment with blockchain-native solutions for equity issuance and collateralization.

Wait, stocks can be issued directly on the chain and used as collateral to borrow money? Is this really true?

Wow, this really works. Traditional stocks are directly on-chain to run DeFi, JPMorgan is also playing this game.

Wait, stocks can be directly traded on the blockchain and used as collateral? Isn't this just moving Wall Street onto the blockchain? Traditional finance is completely panicking.

Isn't this just turning stocks into collateral? If JPMorgan gets involved, this thing is really coming to fruition.

ngl This is the real hybrid finance, a wedding ceremony of traditional finance and DeFi.
