  • BTC tops the list of trending cryptocurrencies over the last 24 hours.
  • ETH slips to the fourth position, likely to reclaim the second position.
  • CHEX and BOUNTY feature in the second and third positions, respectively.

BTC and ETH are still in the top 5 trending cryptocurrencies list on a 24-hour chart. CHEX and BOUNTY are new entrants, filling the gap between Bitcoin tokens and Ether. However, Ethereum tokens are expected to reclaim the 2nd spot if its 3-month price projection stands true.

A 24-hour list by CoinMarketCap of top trending cryptocurrencies shows BTC at the top and ETH in the 4th position. Their respective prices are $92,057.52 and $3,220.52. For a quick reference, CMC reportedly drafts the list based on the visibility and use activity on its platform. This includes activities like engagement and viewership by general users and investors.

Their positions on the list are also partly evident from 24-hour trading volume. BTC’s volume has surged by 24.05% while ETH’s volume soared by 15.05%. While the trading volume of Bitcoin tokens is $56.22 billion, Ethereum tokens are at $28.19 billion when the article is being drafted.

CHEX and BOUNTY on the List

Chintai (CHEX) ranks 2nd on the list, and Chainbounty (BOUNTY) ranks 3rd, with significant gains in their 24-hour trading volume. BOUNTY’s gain stands at 37,089.78% for over $130.25 million. The volume of CHEX, on the other hand, surged by 151.80% to $1.68 million.

The impact of being in the said position is reflected on their token values. For instance, CHEX is listed at $0.06975, up by 42.85% over the last 24 hours. Similarly, BOUNTY has surged by 90.86% to $0.04009 during the same timeline.

That said, it is important to note that positions are subject to change based on several activities. Crypto traders and investors are recommended to research and assess risk in advance.

ETH to Reclaim its Spot?

It is anticipated that ETH could reclaim the second position on the list. This is based on the 3-month projection which forecasts a maximum gain of 80.79% – taking the trading value to around $5,898.71 amid the medium volatility of approximately 3.85%. However, ETH could also reclaim the position earlier.

The closest ETH price prediction has forecast a monthly growth of 11.91% to $3,651.35. The token is testing critical support and resistance levels of $3,120.92 and $3,334.00, applicable in the same order.

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…
