Figure Markets: crypto trading, MPC custody and cash settlement

Figure Markets combines crypto trading with Provenance-based settlement, wallet services and separate lending and securities products. Its account routes, asset controls and withdrawal conditions depend on the product and contracting entity.

By Editorial deskOperating status: ActivePublished Sources checked
  • New York users are excluded from cryptocurrency trading in the current account guides; wallet access does not establish trading eligibility.
  • External-chain assets use MPC accounts and tradable entitlements; Provenance-native wallet control follows a different mechanism.
  • ACH deposits can provide immediate trading availability while off-platform movement waits for settlement.

Markets & services

Sections ↑

Figure Payments Corporation supplies the cryptocurrency brokerage service under the Figure Markets brand. Figure Securities, Inc. operates a separate securities alternative trading system. This profile covers the crypto service and adjacent products that affect funding or account use; permissions remain specific to each affiliate.[11]

Reference table01

Trading and asset functions

Trading and asset functions
FunctionPublished operationScope that matters
Pro TradeSelect an asset, open its menu and enter Pro Trade to inspect the pair and order book.The mobile guide shows bids and offers; the selected pair determines the market.Source 30
Programmatic ordersTrade API supports order entry, preview, cancellation and replacement.A preview does not submit a trade; market location and any additional securities onboarding still control order acceptance.Source 18
Stablecoin conversionThe app offers sale of USDC, USDT or YLDS into USD through an order preview.Conversion is a separate step from sending USD to a bank. Different token structures remain relevant even where the same screen offers them.Source 28
HASH commitmentCommitted HASH is available for exchange trading; uncommitted HASH supports delegation and peer transfers.Pending ACH deposits can prevent uncommitting until settlement, stated as up to four business days.Source 39
Margin accountThe published margin contract requires separate opt-in and collateral.US persons must satisfy its ECP certification and verification requirements; ordinary account approval is insufficient.Source 7

HASH/USD and HASH/USDT have separate order books. Their prices can diverge because liquidity and counterparties differ, while USDT itself can move relative to the dollar. Comparing a chart denominated in one quote asset with an order in the other therefore does not measure execution quality on a like-for-like basis. The examples in the explanatory help article are historical illustrations, not current prices.[31]

Reference table02

Programmatic access and authority

Programmatic access and authority
InterfaceWhat it permitsOperational boundary
Public dataUnauthenticated read-only assets, markets, order books, candles, trades and lending data.Gateway rate limits apply. The guide calls for backoff on HTTP 429 and streaming instead of repeated polling.Source 19
Authenticated APIsOAuth credentials produce a token valid for 24 hours. Markets API handles accounts and related services; Trade API handles order entry.Authentication describes markets:read and markets:trade scopes. Revocation can take several minutes to reach all regions.Source 17
Trade credential scopeThe onboarding guide warns that Trade API credentials currently have full access without a read-only/admin split.Do not assume an account-wide read-only setting from the separate Markets API scope description. Confirm the exact interface and credential rights.Source 16
Automated integrationsThe AI Agents guide documents programmatic trading and distinguishes US and Cayman market locations.It describes shared credentials as shared account authority, including withdrawals, without protocol-enforced delegated subaccounts. This is integration guidance, not an exchange-managed investment mandate.Source 20

The agent guide lists day, immediate-or-cancel, good-till-cancelled and fill-or-kill order conventions. It does not supply a post-only time-in-force option. A bot therefore cannot assume that a limit order will qualify for maker treatment. Instruments and symbols are location-specific, and the same credentials do not establish entitlement to every regional market. These are documented controls; no automated strategy or live execution was tested.[20]

Trade API quantities and prices use market-specific scaled values, so displayed amounts cannot simply be sent as raw inputs. Order types, time in force, instrument precision and account reference must agree. Cancellation and cancellation/replacement are explicit operations; token revocation alone should not be assumed to cancel working orders. The orders documentation also prohibits self-matching within the same market.[18]

Fees & commercial terms

Crypto pairs0.10% / 0.10%Per executed trade notional; labelled current promotional pricing.Source 3

Proposed volume tiersNot treated as effectiveThe same page labels its lower volume-tier schedule coming soon.Source 3

Network costs are separate from exchange commissions. The Provenance gas guide explains that a submitted transaction can consume fees even when execution fails: validation and the attempted on-chain execution still use resources. Its example concerns HASH balances and gas, so it should not be read as a fixed withdrawal fee for every supported blockchain.[32]

Reference table04

Financing and cash distinctions

Financing and cash distinctions
ArrangementPublished basisImportant condition
Margin borrowingInterest accrues hourly and is payable in the borrowed asset.Insufficient interest funds can produce an additional loan or liquidation; deficits remain the customer’s liability.Source 7
Auction-based PrimeThe May 2026 agreement specifies 0.5% of loan principal per year, calculated hourly and deducted from interest paid to the lender.Its hourly auctions and contractual fee mechanics differ from the later smart-contract pool terms.Source 8
Live-rate poolsRates, reserve factors and fees depend on the protocol and pool schedule.No single fixed return or universal withdrawal promise applies.Source 9
USD wallet balanceNo interest promised unless separately provided.Separate from YLDS certificates and lending pools.Source 4

Deposits & withdrawals

Sections ↑

Figure Pay is USD stored value for eligible US users, excluding New York and international users. It rejects cash and mailed checks. Incoming ACH is $2,500 per 24 hours; wires have no stated platform maximum, but bank limits can apply.[4]

Reference table05

Funding and exit routes

Funding and exit routes
RouteProcedure and timingLimits or prerequisite
ACH depositUse a linked Plaid bank account and preview the deposit. The guide says funds can be available immediately for use.Off-platform movement waits up to four business days for settlement; the origination date is day zero.Source 23
Wire depositCreate the cash-deposit instruction in the app and read the displayed stablecoin warning before using the supplied wire details.Use the current account instructions; the help article does not supply a reusable public bank account or guaranteed arrival time.Source 24
ACH withdrawalThe current guide states $25,000 per 24 hours and four business days, with origination day zero.The destination must have been used for a successful ACH deposit. A submitted ACH cannot be cancelled.Source 25
Wire withdrawalDefault daily limit $50,000; processing may take up to 24 business hours.Enter the external bank details and authorise the transfer. These are processing estimates, not guaranteed beneficiary receipt.Source 25
Crypto depositSelect Receive Assets and the intended token, then use the address generated for that asset.The guide separately limits New York wallet deposits to USDC/USDT; this does not grant access to crypto trading.Source 26
Crypto withdrawalSelect Send Assets, token, destination and amount; inspect the preview before authorising.The receiving address and asset must match. Blockchain transfers are irreversible; the guide recommends a small initial test.Source 27

However, the linked October 2025 Pay agreement still gives outgoing ACH as the lesser of $5,000 or available balance per 24 hours and up to five business days. Confirm current account terms with support before using the newer guide’s higher limit.[4][25]

The 8 October stablecoin cash-out guide directs withdrawals of $25,000 or more to wire, whereas the general cash-withdrawal guide describes a $25,000 ACH limit. The exact $25,000 boundary is therefore inconsistent between the instructions. The account’s displayed eligibility or support confirmation is needed at that boundary; the profile does not silently change one wording into the other.[29][25]

The deposit and withdrawal clocks should also be kept separate. An available trading balance after an ACH deposit does not establish that its value can immediately leave as crypto or cash. Selling a stablecoin creates a conversion instruction first; initiating the subsequent bank transfer adds its own processing and destination requirements.[23][28]

Custody & asset handling

Sections ↑

Figure distinguishes its self-custody Provenance wallet from external-chain assets held in MPC accounts. In the latter arrangement, key shares are distributed among hosts, underlying assets stay in the MPC account, and customers trade entitlements on Provenance. Withdrawal of the original asset depends on the hosts cooperating. This model does not make an entitlement identical to holding the original BTC or ETH key in a standalone wallet.[22]

Reference table06

Control and recovery

Control and recovery
ComponentDocumented arrangementPractical consequence
Recovery phrase importThe mobile app accepts a previously saved phrase when importing a self-custody wallet.Identity verification is still required for the imported wallet; possession of recovery words does not replace exchange onboarding.Source 33
Cloud restorationRestore from the cloud works when the account was saved there during setup.The guide makes prior backup a prerequisite; it is not a promise that support can recreate a missing key.Source 34
USD fundsFigure Pay acts as agent, placing fiat in omnibus partner-bank accounts including Lead Bank.Figure Pay is not a bank; these arrangements do not insure tokens or exchange failure.Source 4
Crypto balancesThe exchange’s risk document describes cybersecurity, key-loss, liquidity and intermediary-failure exposure.It does not provide FDIC or SIPC coverage for cryptocurrency.Source 6

The general terms also matter when assets are committed to the service. Linking a wallet can authorise specified asset movements and block assets from other uses while committed. Account access, wallet signing and contractual control should therefore be assessed together; the marketing word self-custody alone does not describe every operational restriction.[2]

Client eligibility & restrictions

Account and product eligibility

Customer or serviceDocumented requirementsBoundary
Individual accountThe mobile application requests contact details, citizenship, address, identity documents and background/source-of-funds information.Current help pages state that cryptocurrency trading is unavailable in New York.Source 21
Institutional accountAn authorised administrator supplies company and ownership information through Universal Passport.Entity review is manual. After approval, members complete individual mobile KYC and accept the entity invitation.Source 16
Geographical accessGeneral terms require adulthood, verification and compliance with geographical and sanctions restrictions.Services and affiliates can differ by location; no complete current country-by-product acceptance matrix was established.Source 2

The disclosure site still links an Irish customer agreement identifying Figure Markets Ireland Limited, company 753781, and describing its VASP-era service. That December 2024 document is retained as entity evidence, not as proof of current EU authorisation. Its launch-era pricing is also not substituted for the current exchange fee page.[13]

The Central Bank of Ireland’s post-transition notice explains that the EU MiCA transition periods ended by 1 July 2026 and directs consumers to check current CASP authorisation. A current firm-specific Figure authorisation was not established in this research. Consequently, this profile makes no positive finding of current EEA service permission from the older Irish agreement or the availability of an app.[12]

The general terms direct users to report suspected unauthorised or incorrectly executed transactions promptly and to review confirmations. Reporting does not guarantee reversal or reimbursement. The money-transmission disclosure provides state-specific escalation routes; those are distinct from a wallet recovery request or a securities-account complaint.[2][5]

The business-continuity document on the shared disclosure page expressly concerns Figure Securities. Its recovery targets and alternative contact instructions should not be presented as a guaranteed crypto-exchange outage remedy. No verified telephone dealing service or exchange-wide recovery-time commitment was found for the crypto account.[15]

Authorisations & registrations

Sections ↑

Figure identifies Figure Payments Corporation by NMLS number 2033432 and says its crypto service is not licensed by the SEC or CFTC and is not an NFA member. The linked NMLS entry was not inspectable during research. These attributed disclosures do not establish a verified state-by-state licensing position.[11]

Operator & entity scope

Sections ↑

The current group footer places the branded entities within Figure Technology Solutions. The homepage’s $42 billion tokenisation figure is separately footnoted as cumulative minted value by group subsidiaries on Provenance, with data dated 11 August 2026. It is not the crypto exchange’s daily trading turnover or number of active traders. A comparable current exchange-user count was not established.[1]

Legacy wallets require their own migration path. The hosted-wallet guide concerns customers whose wallets predated the Figure Markets app launch on 23 June 2024. It instructs them to import from Figure.com using the earlier account credentials and then complete identity verification. That is a documented account transition, not evidence that the older login or a stored legacy balance automatically grants access to every current service.[36]

YLDS certificatesFigure Certificate Company’s prospectus describes unsecured debt securities.

YLDS surrenderThe August 2026 supplement describes surrender processing within 24 hours, potentially longer for technology or congestion.Bank proceeds may take up to five days and stablecoin proceeds up to ten days. Surrender and final payout are separate steps.Source 10
HASH delegationThe app’s Provenance features allow delegation, undelegation and reward viewing.HASH must be uncommitted before staking. Validator selection and the ability to trade committed balances are separate decisions.Source 38

The March 2025 margin contract sets initial LTV at 80% and liquidation at 90%. A $20 equity/$80 loan example produces 80% LTV and five-times-equity exposure before costs. Collateral is not isolated; formal margin calls are not promised and deficits remain payable. These terms do not describe every later Prime pool.[7]

The welcome-bonus agreement describes a conditional $50 stablecoin award for a new customer using an eligible affiliate link, passing KYC, depositing at least $500 within 30 days after KYC, retaining the deposit for 30 days and keeping the account in good standing for 60 days. Payment is stated within 60 days. The offer can change or end, and abuse-related awards can be reversed or offset. It is neither immediate withdrawable cash nor a guaranteed account entitlement.[14]
