Ethereum Price Can Dominate Rally Over Bitcoin as $1.5B ETH Whale Wakes Up

2025/12/15 22:57

Amid the broader crypto market consolidation, Ethereum ETH $2 997 24h volatility: 2.7% Market cap: $362.17 B Vol. 24h: $24.99 B is showing strength with a 1.35% gain today, trading around $3,153.

Ethereum Price Shows Strength Above $3,000

Following a drop to $3,050 earlier today, Ethereum price has shown strength amid strong buying interest. As ETH flirts with $3,150, the daily trading volumes have surged 125% to more than $20.5 billion.

Popular market analyst Ted Pillows noted that ETH is showing strength after holding above the key $3,000 support level. The largest altcoin has since staged a quick recovery.

Pillows noted that as long as the current support zone remains intact, ETH could rebound toward the $3,300-$3,400 range. However, the analyst warned that a breakdown below $3,000 could trigger a rapid decline toward levels below $2,800. So far, investors have been actively buying the Ethereum price dips.

Another popular X handle, Bitcoinsensus reported that the ETH/BTC trading pair has generated a bullish signal on the monthly chart.

The MACD indicator flashes a bullish signal. The analyst noted that this type of signal is rare and usually appears only once per market cycle.

According to Bitcoinsensus, the last time a similar setup occurred, it triggered a significant capital rotation into altcoins over the following year. This suggests a notable shift in market dynamics from BTC to ETH.

ETH Mega Whale Buys 38,576 Coins

The renewed accumulation comes as the broader market consolidates. It suggests continued conviction from large holders despite short-term volatility.

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…
