PANews reported on December 13th that, according to the Wall Street Journal, US President Trump stated on Friday that Kevin Warsh has risen to the top of his shortlist for the next Federal Reserve Chair, although other candidates remain in contention. The Fed recently cut interest rates on Wednesday, lowering the benchmark federal funds rate to a range of 3.5%-3.75%, but Trump believes rates should be even lower. Trump noted that Warsh largely agrees with his monetary policy stance. Market forecasts have shifted accordingly; according to Kalshi's data, the market previously considered Hassett's probability of being nominated to be around 71%, but it has now fallen to 62%, while Warsh's probability is 36%. In addition to further emphasizing Warsh's potential for the position, Trump reiterated his past view that the Fed Chair should consult the president on interest rate decisions. This move would overturn the Fed's tradition of maintaining independence.

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…
