Figure Partners moomoo and Keplr to Expand Access to On-Chain Public Equity Network

 

Figure Technology Solutions, the blockchain-native capital markets platform, has announced a strategic collaboration with global investment and trading platform moomoo and blockchain wallet provider Keplr to expand global investor access to its On-Chain Public Equity Network (OPEN) — a next-generation public equity marketplace built on the Provenance Blockchain.

The move is part of Figure’s broader effort to bring traditional public markets onto blockchain infrastructure, enabling companies to list shares natively on-chain and investors to buy, hold, trade and lend equities within digital wallets and platforms.

The collaboration with moomoo and Keplr represents a meaningful step toward democratizing access to this blockchain-first equity ecosystem, giving a broader audience of retail and institutional investors seamless entry points into a market traditionally dominated by centralized exchanges.

What is the Open On-Chain Public Equity Network?

Figure’s On-Chain Public Equity Network (OPEN) is a blockchain-native infrastructure designed to reimagine public equity markets by recording and settling equity ownership directly on the Provenance Blockchain — bypassing intermediary systems such as central depositories and clearinghouses that currently underpin traditional markets.

Unlike tokenized or wrapped representations of stocks, the OPEN model enables native on-chain equities, where ownership, transferability and lending occur entirely on blockchain — potentially reducing settlement times, improving transparency and lowering operational friction.

Figure itself plans to use OPEN to list its own shares, making them interoperable with both traditional markets and blockchain-based financial infrastructure.

Partnerships That Broaden Access

Under the new initiative:

• moomoo — a global investment and trading platform with millions of users — will serve as a gateway for retail and institutional investors to interact with OPEN markets through its existing brokerage infrastructure and trading interfaces.
• Keplr — a popular blockchain wallet in the Cosmos ecosystem — will serve as a secure on-chain wallet interface where users can hold, trade and manage on-chain equities as digital assets.

Together, these integrations aim to simplify access to on-chain public equities for a broader investment audience, removing barriers that often come with specialized wallets or direct blockchain interaction.

By enabling traders to access OPEN through platforms they already use — both traditional investment apps and blockchain wallets — this alliance helps bridge the gap between legacy markets and decentralised finance.

Why This Matters

The traditional public equity ecosystem relies on a network of intermediaries — exchanges, custodians, clearinghouses and brokers — to record and settle trades. OPEN’s blockchain-based framework aims to streamline these processes by shifting equity ownership directly onto blockchain, where smart contracts can handle issuance, settlement and transfer logic securely and transparently.

This could:

• Reduce settlement times from days to near-instant on-chain settlement
• Increase transparency — ownership records exist immutably on blockchain
• Lower operational costs by eliminating layers of intermediaries
• Enable on-chain lending and DeFi uses for public equities

The partnership with moomoo and Keplr accelerates user adoption by making these capabilities available through familiar trading and blockchain access points.
