The timing of the sale, just days before the stock’s sharp decline, has raised speculation of possible insider knowledge or privileged access to market-moving information. However, there is no evidence of any wrongdoing.

Why FI stock is crashing 

Indeed, Fiserv’s stock took a steep plunge in late October after the company reported disappointing third-quarter earnings and slashed its full-year guidance.

The company posted earnings of $2.04 per share, missing Wall Street estimates, while revenue also fell short of expectations. Management cut its organic revenue growth forecast to just 3.5% to 4%, down sharply from around 10% previously, and lowered its full-year EPS outlook to roughly $8.50–$8.60.

Investors also reacted negatively to slowing growth in Fiserv’s key Clover payments platform, leadership shake-ups, and signs of operational missteps, including client pushback over fees. 

Analysts described the company’s reset as “difficult to comprehend,” warning that confidence in management and long-term growth prospects has been severely damaged.

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…
