Figure to Bring Real Estate Lending Onto Blockchain With Kiavi Acquisition

Figure Technology Solutions uses blockchain technology to tokenize loan assets, allowing home loans to be originated, traded and financed onchain. Acquiring AI-powered real estate lender Kiavi will broaden the range and scale of Figure’s lending business, helping reduce operating costs and improve asset liquidity while maintaining an asset-light model.

Figure Technology Solutions announced in July 2026 that it would acquire Kiavi for $717 million and bring the lender’s real estate loans onto Figure’s blockchain infrastructure. After the deal closes, Kiavi’s AI-powered underwriting capabilities will be combined with Figure’s tokenization rails, accelerating the migration of more residential and investment-property loans onchain.
