Figure Technology Solutions, a Provenance Blockchain-native capital marketplace, is expanding investor access to the On-Chain Public Equity Network (OPEN).
It looks to achieve this through new integrations with moomoo, a global investment and trading platform, and Keplr, a self-custodial, open-source multi-chain wallet.
The will see Figure extend the distribution of blockchain-native public equities across both regulated brokerage platforms and self-custody wallets.
OPEN allows companies to issue their equity native on blockchain and enables investors worldwide to invest in US public equities while accessing decentralised finance (DeFi) for borrowing against and lending out stock.
Moomoo is the first retail brokerage to integrate with OPEN, enabling investors to trade equities registered on OPEN through a regulated trading platform.
As equities join OPEN, Keplr will enable direct, self-custodied ownership of OPEN-issued equities, making it the first third-party self-custodied wallet to integrate with OPEN.
Neil McDonald, CEO of moomoo, says: “We are thrilled to bring the blockchain revolution to moomoo customers and broaden access to more diversified investment strategies.
“This is a natural evolution of our tech-first strategy and we are excited to offer our customers access to Figure’s Democratized Prime for stock borrow and lend, delivering greater flexibility to participate in institutional-grade opportunities.”
Together with the Figure Markets app, these integrations demonstrate how public equities can trade and settle natively on blockchain while remaining accessible through both brokerage and self-custody models, says Figure.
The firm plans to offer its own stock — the first on OPEN — in the coming weeks.
Traditional public equity markets rely on centralised clearing, custodial intermediation, and batch settlement cycles that introduce cost, delay, and operational complexity.
OPEN replaces this structure with a blockchain-native registry and real-time settlement framework, enabling T+0 settlement, 24-hour trading, and access to DeFi.
By supporting self-settlement on a regulated alternative trading system (ATS), OPEN streamlines post-trade processes while remaining aligned with existing securities regulations.
This architecture also allows equities issued on OPEN to be accessed across multiple platforms while maintaining a single source of truth for ownership and settlement.
“Replacing broker-gated market access with self-custody wallets is a huge step for the blockchain ecosystem,” comments Josh Lee, of Keplr.
Mike Cagney, Figure’s co-founder and chairman, adds: “We are thrilled at how both moomoo and Keplr are democratising access to the public equity market. We see this as the beginning of an entirely new public equity capital market.”
