  • A whale wallet has bought 10,158 ETH at an individual price of around $2,069.
  • BTC and ETH just recorded a recovery from recent losses.
  • Price projections are optimistic.

A crypto whale has accumulated ETH by spending USDT. Another whale had earlier withdrawn BTC from platforms. Both actions have triggered speculation around the rise in their respective prices. This is further drawn from the current surge in BTC and ETH price along with a stronger projection for the next 3 months.

Whale Buys ETH, Withdraws BTC

A crypto whale reportedly spent USDT worth approximately $21 million to buy Ethereum tokens. The whale accumulated 10,158 ETH at an individual price of around $2,069, applicable at the time of the transaction.

According to Onchain Lens, the whale wallet now holds long positions in BTC and ETH for around $83.57 million. The leverage stands at 20x, and the holding carries a floating profit of over $3 million.

BTC comes into the picture also because another whale wallet, after 9 months of being asleep, withdrew 404.38 bitcoins. They were valued at approximately $27.65 million at the time of withdrawal, which was executed from Binance and OKX.

Both these activities have triggered speculation around the possible HODLing. Or, around the possible bull run in the days to come.

BTC and ETH Record Recovery

Both, BTC and ETH have made notable recoveries from recent lows. For starters, Bitcoin tokens are trading at $70,925.73, up by 4.30% over the last 24 hours. It briefly teased exchanging hands at $71k but fell short by a marginal distance.

Two major technicals, Oscillators and Moving Averages, are signalling a sentiment to buy the flagship token.

Ethereum tokens are trading at $2,064.40, up by 3.105 in 24 hours. The second-ranked cryptocurrency in terms of the market cap also teased breaching the $2.1k mark before falling short by a small margin.

Oscillators are signaling a sentiment to buy the token, but Moving Averages are highlighting neutral sentiments for Ether. Needless to say, the wisest decision is to do thorough research and risk assessment before crypto investments.

Price Projection

Price projections for BTC and ETH are bullish. Bitcoin tokens are estimated to reach $78,840 in 1 month. This would be a jump of around 10.74% from the current value, amid the volatility of 2.52%. BTC price prediction for the next 3 months underlines the possibility for price correction as it can retrace to $74,907.

The situation for Ethereum tokens is slightly different. ETH price prediction shows a progressive upward trajectory to $3,896.54 in the next 3 months. It could first record a 14.44% surge to $2,345.80 in the next 30 days.

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…
