Ethereum (ETH) Reclaims $3K Level, Bitcoin (BTC) Nears $90K: Market Watch

Bitcoin’s price has finally shown more sustainable signs of a minor recovery as the asset neared $90,000 for the first time since the pump-and-dump last Wednesday.

Most larger-cap altcoins have charted small gains as well, with ETH reclaiming the coveted $3,000 line, while BNB has remained firm above $860.

BTC Eyes $90K Rebound

The previous business week didn’t disappoint those who anticipated a volatile trading period, as BTC dumped by several grand on Monday from $90,000 to under $85,500. It skyrocketed on Wednesday back to just over $90,000, where it was immediately rejected and driven south to under $85,500 once again.

More fluctuations came on Thursday when the US CPI numbers came out. As they were much better than expected, BTC jumped immediately but was stopped at $89,500, and the subsequent rejection was quite painful. The asset plunged to $84,500 to mark a multi-week low.

The bulls finally stepped up at this point and helped BTC recover to $88,000, where it spent most of the next few days. The weekend was quite uneventful as well, and bitcoin started to climb gradually on Monday morning, nearing $90,000 for the first time in several days.

Its market capitalization has risen to almost $1.8 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts has increased to 57.5%.

ETH Above $3K

Ethereum dumped to $2,800 during the most recent correction last week, but it reacted well and quickly reclaimed the $2,900 mark. After a few unsuccessful attempts to surge past $3,000, it managed to do so earlier today.

Binance Coin has increased by a similar percentage since yesterday and sits well above $860. SOL, TRX, DOGE, LINK, and ZEC are also slightly in the green, while HYPE has jumped by 4%. NIGHT continues its run and has soared by 13% to $0.10.

AAVE and CC have dumped the most over the past 24 hours. The former has slumped by 11%, while the latter is down by 21%.

The total crypto market cap has risen by $30 billion in a day and is up to $3.120 trillion on CG.

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…
