$1.7B in Crypto Liquidations over 24 Hours Rattles Ethereum and Bitcoin Markets

The crypto market has recently undergone wide-scale liquidations. Specifically, the loss of up to $1.7B over the past 24 hours has jolted the Ethereum ($ETH) and Bitcoin ($BTC) markets to a significant extent.  As per the data from CryptosRus, over 276,000 traders experienced forced liquidations in the meantime. This highlights the risks of overleveraged crypto positions amid the broader market volatility.

Crypto Market Undergoes $1.7B Liquidations, with $ETH and $BTC Losing $421M and $781M

The liquidations heatmap points out that a total of $1.7B left the crypto market over the past twenty-four hours. Particularly, Ethereum ($ETH) and Bitcoin ($BTC) emerged as the leading crypto assets with huge losses. Hence, $BTC accounted for the biggest liquidation share, hitting the $781M mark.

Subsequently, Ethereum ($ETH) also recorded cumulative liquidations of nearly $4212M. Following that, $XRP recorded a relatively lower level of $71.42M in liquidations. The respective liquidation wave forced over 276,000 traders to quit their overleveraged long positions amid heightened volatility.

Altcoin Liquidation Fuels Market Uncertainty

Solana ($SOL) also occupied a key position in the liquidation heatmap, showing a total $70.17M in liquidations. Additionally, smaller altcoins displayed almost $89.89m in their total liquidation. This shows the wide range of the sell-offs across the market while the uncertainty is rising.

According to CryptosRus, this liquidation toll has raised concerns over the market stability, while Ethereum ($ETH) and Bitcoin ($BTC) are now more vulnerable to further corrections. Nevertheless, the resilience shown by the spot crypto holders as well as the wider market’s potential to absorb increased volatility will be critical in shaping the overall sentiment. In the meantime, the market onlookers are keenly watching for the likely signs for further clarity of the deeper bearish momentum or a bullish divergence.

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…
