What we're watching
- Market Adoption
- The rapid growth in both borrower demand and lender supply suggests increasing adoption of Figure’s Democratized Prime platform, but sustained growth will depend on attracting and retaining participants.
- Regulatory Scrutiny

- Profitability
- While marketplace volume is expanding, the company’s ability to translate this growth into sustainable profitability remains uncertain given its history of losses.
