OpenWorld Says Figure OPEN Dual Listing Stays on Track for Q4 2026
By Crypto Wire
October 25, 2026
OpenWorld, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPNW) put a concrete RWA equity beat on the Sunday wire. In a GlobeNewswire release dated October 25, 2026 at 20:00 ET, the company said its planned dual listing on Figure’s On-chain Public Equity Network (Figure OPEN) remains on track to go live in the fourth quarter of 2026. OpenWorld frames the product as a blockchain-native version of its existing Nasdaq common shares — not a new capital raise — and says the total number of outstanding shares will not increase. Those claims come from the company release; they are not an exchange confirmation that trading has already opened.
The corporate paperwork is already on the SEC docket. An OpenWorld Form 8-K reports that on October 16, 2026, stockholders holding about 57.57% of issued and outstanding common stock approved Amended and Restated Articles by written consent under Nevada law. The Restated Articles authorize 500,000,000 shares of Blockchain Common Stock (par value $0.001) as a blank-check class issuable in one or more series, plus an express distribution election under NRS 78.288(2)(b). Upon effectiveness, authorized capital would be 675,000,000 Common, 500,000,000 Blockchain Common, and 75,000,000 Preferred — authorized capacity, not a statement of newly issued float. Effectiveness still waits on filing with the Nevada Secretary of State after the Rule 14c-2 notice period and mailing of the definitive Schedule 14C; Sunday’s release says that mailing is expected to begin October 26, 2026.
Settlement and custody mechanics are the utility core. OpenWorld says Blockchain Common Stock is designed for real-time settlement versus conventional T+1, with around-the-clock trading access while the Nasdaq listing continues under the same SEC reporting and governance stack. To move between formats, the company appointed Vinyl Equity, Inc. as an SEC-registered transfer agent for traditional and blockchain share records, and lists Figure Equity Solutions for blockchain equity transfer support. CEO Matthew Shaw’s quoted line in the release restates the no-dilution / dual-rail pitch as a company claim. Figure Technology Solutions (NASDAQ: FIGR) remains the named OPEN counterparty from OpenWorld’s earlier October 1 dual-listing plan; Sunday’s note is a status confirm after the charter vote, not a fresh Figure partnership announcement.
For NFT and crypto desks, the live fact is tokenized public equity rails advancing under an SEC-registered issuer — adjacent to tokenized-stock tapes already on Robinhood Chain and Hyperliquid EQX calendars, but a different product: a Nasdaq company’s own share class moving on Figure OPEN rather than a synthetic non-U.S. spot market. “On track for Q4” is not live trading tonight, and authorized Blockchain Common Stock capacity is not dilution already issued. Forward-looking risks in the release itself flag regulatory approvals, market conditions, and technology readiness — company caveats, not predictions.
What to watch next is paperwork, not tape. The next hard facts are Nevada filing effectiveness after the 14C mail window, stockholder instructions from Vinyl Equity and Figure Equity Solutions for converting holdings between traditional and blockchain formats, and any Figure OPEN go-live notice that names actual trading hours. Until those land, treat Sunday’s dual-listing confirm as charter-and-rail status — not a live OPNW on-chain market.
Utility check: Charter approval and transfer-agent plumbing are live paperwork; the Figure OPEN listing itself is still pending for Q4 2026 per the company — not yet a collector-usable on-chain OPNW market. Watch the definitive 14C mailing start expected October 26 and the subsequent Nevada filing that makes Blockchain Common Stock effective before treating dual listing as settled utility.
Bottom line: OpenWorld says its Nasdaq OPNW dual listing on Figure OPEN remains on track for Q4 2026 after stockholders holding about 57.57% approved 500,000,000 Blockchain Common Stock in the charter — with no new shares and no capital raise claimed in Sunday’s release.
