Figure Markets CEO Mike Cagney lays out how an $11 billion blockchain lending wave is disrupting traditional banking & explains why his firm hasn’t lost a single dollar backing loans with Bitcoin. Could traditional banks soon watch up to $6 trillion in deposits head for the exit if a new stablecoin bill passes? This interview discusses how the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) is turning into a serious force, opening the door to a $10 trillion+ market by 2030. Meanwhile, crypto ETFs and growing interest from big institutions are helping DeFi lending hit new records. The tech is doing what banks can’t—cutting out middlemen and trimming loan costs by up to half. It’s even making 24/7 collateral tracking a reality, something that puts legacy systems to shame. And with all this heating up, giants like JPMorgan are now rushing to launch their own stablecoins, because if they don’t, they risk falling behind in a financial system that’s changing fast. VIDEO
