Weekly Commentary
ProWeek of May 23, 2026
Figure's $1.4B TVL anchors the RWA sector, but the C- value grade reveals weak fee capture and token incentives—the protocol captures minimal economic benefit from its scale. The neutral risk-value pairing makes Figure a structural play for real-world asset adoption rather than a token holder investment, with execution risk in mortgage underwriting offsetting the C+ stability profile.
