PANews reported on November 18th that Simon Kim, CEO of South Korean crypto venture capital firm Hashed, wrote that since entering the crypto space in 2015, he has experienced numerous market ups and downs, but this bear market is the first one that hasn't truly terrified him. While looking at his portfolio still stings from the bear market, this one is fundamentally different from previous ones. In past bear markets, there was an existential fear of the complete disappearance of crypto technology and the market itself, with threats such as governments jointly banning crypto assets and new global ledger technologies replacing blockchain being very real. However, currently, regardless of daily price fluctuations, such fundamental concerns have not materialized. Global regulation is gradually evolving, aiming to foster development rather than suppress the industry; more and more institutional investors are recognizing the value of this asset class, as evidenced by the large position of IBIT in Harvard University's endowment portfolio; stablecoin metrics are hitting new highs every month, and their issuance is projected to increase several times over by 2030. Simon Kim also mentioned that billions of people worldwide will access digital assets through everyday fintech and large-scale tech applications in the future, rather than relying on exchanges. Everything is being tokenized, and the prosperity of the on-chain ecosystem is a foregone conclusion. He emphasized that the cycle is temporary, the fundamentals are irreversibly moving forward, and urged everyone to be patient, as it won't take long for prices to rebound and catch up with these fundamentals.PANews reported on November 18th that Simon Kim, CEO of South Korean crypto venture capital firm Hashed, wrote that since entering the crypto space in 2015, he has experienced numerous market ups and downs, but this bear market is the first one that hasn't truly terrified him.

Hashed CEO: There's no need to fear this crypto bear market; the industry's positive fundamentals are already established.

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…
