The post Political noises to undermine – OCBC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Euro (EUR) slipped yesterday on news that French PM Lecornu resigned after less than 1 month on the role. Pair was last at 1.1677 levels, OCBC’s FX analysts Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong note. 2-way trades still likely “This is the 3rd PM after Bayrou and Barnier to leave office, since December-2024. But post-resignation, President Macron tasked Lecornu 48 hours to work on a plan for the ‘stability for the country’. This feels like Macron is ‘buying time’ and by Wednesday, Macron has to make a choice to either appoint another PM, dissolve the National Assembly or tender his resignation (which is of low probability at this point).” “Additionally, the Netherlands will hold General Elections on October 29. These political developments may still pose downward risk on the EUR in the near term. However, the broader fundamental outlook remains supportive of the euro, suggesting a buy-on-dips approach.” “Daily momentum is mild bearish but decline in RSI moderated. 2-way trades still likely.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
