About this episode

Figure is making a huge promise: to reinvent Wall Street by building the future of capital markets on the blockchain.

In today’s deep dive we tell you more about Figure’s business, how they make money, and explore whether they can actually onboard capital markets into their ecosystem or if they’re just a boring lender disguised as a crypto company.
