BREAKING: River Token Crashes 24.4% to $13.92 in Sharp Selloff

River (RIVER) has plunged 24.4% in the past 24 hours, dropping from $18.42 to $13.92 as of February 15, 2026, in a sharp selloff that has erased $87.7 million in market capitalization.

The cryptocurrency, currently ranked #150 by market cap, saw its valuation fall from $360.2 million to $272.5 million, representing a 24.4% decline in total market value. Trading volume surged to $36.3 million as investors rushed to exit positions.

Dramatic Reversal from All-Time High

River’s current price of $13.92 marks an 83.2% decline from its all-time high of $87.73 reached on January 26, 2026—just three weeks ago. The token has lost more than five-sixths of its peak value in less than a month, signaling severe bearish momentum.

The 24-hour price action shows extreme volatility, with RIVER hitting an intraday high of $18.42 before plummeting to a low of $13.43. The token has declined an additional 4.6% in the past hour alone, suggesting continued selling pressure.

30-Day Performance Shows Mounting Losses

The broader trend reveals intensifying weakness across multiple timeframes:

  • 24-hour change: -24.4% ($4.50 decline)
  • 7-day change: +9.2% (brief relief rally)
  • 30-day change: -44.6% (accelerating losses)
  • From ATH: -83.2% ($73.81 decline)

Despite a modest 9.2% gain over the past week, the 30-day performance shows RIVER down 44.6%, indicating the recent bounce failed to establish sustainable support.

Market Fundamentals

River currently has 19.6 million tokens in circulation out of a maximum supply of 100 million, representing 19.6% of total supply. The fully diluted valuation stands at $1.39 billion, suggesting significant additional selling pressure could emerge as more tokens enter circulation.

The token has demonstrated extreme volatility since its September 2023 all-time low of $1.58, gaining over 831% from that bottom before the recent collapse.

What This Means for Traders

The sharp 24.4% decline in a single day, combined with the 83% drop from all-time highs, signals severe technical breakdown. The failure to hold support levels despite a brief weekly rally suggests weakening buyer demand. Traders should monitor the $13.43 intraday low as a critical support level—a break below could trigger further liquidations.

With market cap dropping below $275 million and continued hourly declines, River faces a critical juncture. The elevated 24-hour volume of $36.3 million indicates heightened trader activity, but the directional bias remains overwhelmingly negative.

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…
