Alameda Research unstakes $17M in SOL, continues monthly creditor distributions

Alameda Research, the collapsed trading firm linked to the FTX bankruptcy, unstaked over 197,000 Solana worth $17 million and transferred the funds to its bankruptcy account, according to on-chain data.

The move is part of ongoing monthly distributions to creditors still awaiting repayment from one of crypto’s largest insolvencies.

Alameda addresses held approximately 5 million SOL worth over $750 million as of July 2025, per Arkham Intelligence, with much of it staked.

After the latest unstaking, the entity maintains 3.5 million SOL valued at $326 million at current market prices across its on-chain accounts.

Alameda Research served as the trading arm closely affiliated with FTX, the exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried that spectacularly collapsed in November 2022.

The firm’s failure triggered cascading losses across the crypto industry and left creditors facing billions in claims. Bankruptcy proceedings have since worked to recover and distribute remaining assets to those affected by the implosion.

Solana holdings represent a huge portion of the estate’s recoverable value. The token traded around $10 in the months after the exchange’s collapse but has since recovered sharply.

SOL traded at $87 at press time, rising 2% in the past day but still down around 70% from its record high of $293 recorded last January, per TradingView.

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…
