Key differences
Bitcoin and Figure Heloc represent opposite ends of crypto's evolution. Bitcoin, launched in 2009, is a decentralized cryptocurrency with no issuer and no underlying asset — its value derives from scarcity and its role as peer-to-peer electronic cash secured by a global mining network. FIGR_HELOC is a tokenized real-world asset (RWA): it represents home equity line of credit (HELOC) loans originated through Figure's platform and brought on-chain via the Provenance blockchain.
Their mechanics share almost nothing. Bitcoin runs on Proof of Work with the SHA-256 algorithm, has a hard cap of 21 million coins, and follows a fixed issuance schedule with halvings every four years. FIGR_HELOC has no consensus mechanism or supply cap of its own; its roughly 21 billion units reflect the pool of underlying loan assets that Figure tokenizes, trades, and settles through Figure Connect and Figure Markets.
The purposes differ accordingly. Bitcoin is a bearer asset and store of value that anyone can hold without permission. FIGR_HELOC is part of institutional debt-market infrastructure: Figure Connect standardizes and tokenizes credit assets like HELOCs into composable on-chain formats, while Figure Markets enables 24/7 secondary trading and settlement.
In ecosystem terms, Bitcoin anchors the broader cryptocurrency market as its oldest and largest network, while FIGR_HELOC belongs to the tokenized private credit segment — blockchain used as plumbing for traditional lending rather than as an alternative currency.
