Kuwaiti bourse launches emerging companies market

2025/12/16 15:17

Kuwait’s stock exchange has launched a market for emerging companies following an increase in demand to join the busy bourse.

The emerging companies market is intended to widen participation by local companies in the bourse and attract their investment, a statement from the exchange said.

“Boursa Kuwait announces its readiness for the emerging companies market,” the statement said, adding that it began receiving applications on Sunday.

The move means Kuwait’s exchange is now divided into four sections, with the emerging companies market complementing the main market, the primary bourse and the auction market, according to the statement.

Boursa Kuwait stipulated in July that emerging companies wishing to join the new market must have minimum capital of KD750,000 ($2.4 million) and said this capital would be evaluated by an authorised auditor.

“Companies listed on the primary market, the main market, or the auction market are not permitted to switch to the emerging companies market,” the bourse said.

New companies listed on the emerging market could qualify to list on the primary market after fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the bourse authority, it added.

Kuwait’s bourse is one of the largest and busiest stock markets in the Middle East, with 139 companies listed at the end of November, bourse data showed.

Their market capitalisation stood at around KD55 billion at the end of October, nearly $33 billion higher than a year earlier.

Banks form the dominant sector in the bourse, with their capitalisation standing at around KD33 billion, nearly 60 percent of the market’s total.

The Kuwaiti bourse’s All Share Index has risen 22.5 percent this year to December 16. The biggest movers are energy and real estate, up 50 percent and 52 percent respectively.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

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…
