A U.S. court has sentenced Robert Dunlap, the operator behind the Meta-1 Coin crypto scam, to 23 years in prison for defrauding approximately 1,000 investors between 2018 and 2023, with the fraud amounting to over $20 million. According to ChainCatcher, Dunlap falsely claimed that the Meta-1 Coin was backed by $44 billion in gold reserves and $1 billion in art pieces by Picasso, Dalí, and Van Gogh, promising returns as high as 224,923%. He provided investors with fake audit documents and insurance materials. Investigations revealed that the purported assets did not exist, and the Meta Exchange website used automated trading bots to create a false impression of profitability. The tokens were never actually issued on the blockchain, and investor funds were spent on luxury items, including a Ferrari. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had filed a civil fraud lawsuit against Dunlap in 2020, but he continued operating the project until facing criminal charges in 2024. The FBI stated that the scheme destroyed the wealth and trust accumulated by many victims over the years.

Figure Technology Solutions, founded by Mike Cagney, is working to revolutionize the traditional credit market infrastructure using blockchain technology. According to Odaily, the company aims to bring loans, real-world assets (RWA), and even stocks onto the blockchain, with the goal of eliminating traditional intermediaries and establishing a new foundation for Wall Street. In March, Figure's loan issuance surpassed $1 billion for the first time, with a total issuance of $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026, and an annualized scale of approximately $12 billion. Mike Cagney highlighted that tokenizing loans can significantly reduce securitization costs and traditional intermediary fees. This approach enhances liquidity through continuously updated credit markets and allows on-chain credit assets to directly integrate with the DeFi ecosystem, broadening investor participation. The company's Forge platform can package loans into standardized asset pools and convert them into tokens usable as collateral in DeFi protocols. Currently, Figure is advancing its operations within the Solana ecosystem and plans to expand to Ethereum. Additionally, the company has launched YLDS, a yield-bearing stablecoin backed by traditional assets like U.S. Treasury bonds, with a scale of about $600 million. They are also exploring stock tokenization and on-chain staking and lending. Mike Cagney believes blockchain will be one of the most transformative technologies, redefining the future structure of financial markets.

Figure Technology Solutions（FIGR）创始人 Mike Cagney 表示，公司正推动通过区块链重构传统信贷市场底层设施，将贷款、现实世界资产（RWA）乃至股票搬上链，目标是让信贷流转摆脱传统中介体系，成为“华尔街新的基础设施”。数据显示，Figure 今年 3 月单月贷款发放规模首次突破 10 亿美元，2026 年第一季度总发放量达 29 亿美元，年化规模约 120 亿美元。Mike Cagney 指出，贷款代币化可显著降低证券化成本，减少传统中介费用，同时通过持续实时更新的信用市场提升流动性，并使链上信贷资产能够直接接入 DeFi 生态，扩大投资者参与范围。其旗下 Forge 平台可将贷款打包为标准化资产池，并转化为可在 DeFi 协议中作为抵押品使用的代币。目前，Figure 已在 Solana 生态推进相关业务，并计划拓展至以太坊。此外，公司还推出由美国国债等传统资产支持、规模约 6 亿美元的收益型稳定币 YLDS，并探索股票代币化及链上质押借贷。Mike Cagney 表示，区块链将成为最具变革性的技术之一，并重新定义未来金融市场结构。（CoinDesk）
