Arlington, Texas – Feb 26, 2026 — Agora Data, Inc. (“Agora” or the “Company”), a non-prime auto fintech and analytics platform, and Figure Technology Solutions (NASDAQ: FIGR) (“Figure”), a pioneer in blockchain-based capital markets infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership to launch the first blockchain-enabled platform bringing U.S. auto loans to modern capital markets as tokenized real- world assets (RWAs).
The partnership represents a meaningful step forward in the evolution of consumer finance, combining Agora’s AI‑driven auto credit modeling and underwriting expertise with Figure’s blockchain infrastructure, securitization capabilities, and digital asset marketplace. Together, the companies aim to open broader access to an asset class that has historically been limited to banks and large institutional investors.

Expanding Access to Auto Loans Through Blockchain Infrastructure
Through the Figure platform, decentralized finance participants will be able to access, lend against, or acquire auto loans originated by Agora. This new distribution model is designed to improve liquidity, transparency, and efficiency across the $1.6 trillion U.S. auto finance market.
At the center of the partnership is ALTRUVO™, Agora Data’s blockchain‑based platform. ALTRUVO™ strengthens the company’s diversified funding strategy by introducing a new, scalable capital source designed to meet increasing customer demand and better serve auto dealers and financial institutions.
Operating directly on the Figure platform, ALTRUVO™ leverages Figure’s blockchain infrastructure, investor network, and marketplace technology to distribute Agora‑originated auto loans as tokenized real‑world assets. This structure helps bridge traditional structured finance with decentralized capital markets while supporting long‑term growth across the auto finance ecosystem.
Leadership Perspectives on the Partnership
“Auto loans represent one of the largest and most established consumer credit markets in the United States. By partnering with Figure, we are accelerating our growth and providing more capital to car dealerships while expanding access to auto loans through blockchain-based capital markets as an asset class on-chain for the first time. This collaboration adds to a growing list of firsts for Agora - enhancing liquidity, broadening investor participation, and accelerating real world innovation.”
Steve Burke, Chief Executive Officer of Agora Data.
“Agora is a natural partner for Figure’s expansion into auto finance, given their deep auto industry expertise, AI-powered financing capabilities, and strong growth trajectory. Together, we represent two market-leading platforms with a shared conviction that auto finance is fertile ground for the evolution of blockchain-based structured finance.”
