The post Bitcoin Crashes Under $100K for First Time Since May, Liquidations Hit $1.3 Billion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The price of Bitcoin continued plunging Tuesday, falling below the $100,000 mark for the first time in six months. Other top coins are falling even harder, driving $1.3 billion in liquidations over the past day. Bitcoin touched as low as $99,954 on crypto exchange Coinbase and $99,990 per price tracker CoinMarketCap before rebounding above $101,000, off more than 5% over the past 24 hours. The leading  cryptocurrency by market capitalization has fallen about 12% over the past week and more than 20% since setting a new all-time high above $126,000 in early October. The last time Bitcoin dropped below six figures was in early May. “We are still facing the aftermath of Crypto’s Black Friday.

Bitcoin Crashes Under $100K for First Time Since May, Liquidations Hit $1.3 Billion

The price of Bitcoin continued plunging Tuesday, falling below the $100,000 mark for the first time in six months. Other top coins are falling even harder, driving $1.3 billion in liquidations over the past day.

Bitcoin touched as low as $99,954 on crypto exchange Coinbase and $99,990 per price tracker CoinMarketCap before rebounding above $101,000, off more than 5% over the past 24 hours.

The leading  cryptocurrency by market capitalization has fallen about 12% over the past week and more than 20% since setting a new all-time high above $126,000 in early October.

The last time Bitcoin dropped below six figures was in early May.

“We are still facing the aftermath of Crypto’s Black Friday.

Bitcoin leads the liquidation pile with $470 million worth, followed by Ethereum at about $377 million.

Crypto has been flying high for most of the year, with Bitcoin repeatedly setting new high marks—most recently on October 6—and coins like Ethereum and XRP breaking multi-year records of their own in recent months.

But it’s been a bumpy few weeks, with a record-setting day of $19 billion worth of crypto liquidations last month following President Trump’s latest round of tariff threats against China—one of the macro factors impacting Bitcoin’s performance.

Bitcoin has also tumbled amid the ongoing government shutdown—the longest full closure in history—along with liquidity concerns and dwindling prospects of a third U.S. interest rate cut before year’s end.

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…
