Crypto markets volatility 

Markets were initially spooked in October when President Donald Trump announced sweeping 100% tariffs and export controls on China starting November 1, 2025, triggering a 12% Bitcoin slide and plunges of up to 40% in other major crypto assets.

The correction was exacerbated by extreme leverage, with around 300,000 traders liquidated daily on average, including a $20 billion liquidation wave on October 10 that amplified the slump.

Despite the turmoil, institutional buyers are emerging. For example, Michael Saylor’s firm, Strategy, acquired 397 BTC at an average of $114,771, signaling long-term conviction even as the asset trades below its purchase price.

Market analysts note the latest surge is being driven not by retail frenzy, but by quieter capital inflows as fear begins to fade.

They suggest the rally could continue as long as FOMO remains contained and retail participation stays muted, a dynamic that has historically favored Bitcoin’s upside momentum.

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…
