Pepe (PEPE) Soars by 35% Daily: Is This the Beginning of a Major Bull Run?

The meme coin sector has taken center stage today (January 2), with many tokens experiencing solid gains over the past 24 hours. Pepe (PEPE) is an evident example, as its price soared by roughly 35% within that period.

Its rally caught the eye of some popular analysts who believe this could mark the start of an uptrend to unseen levels.

What’s Next?

PEPE is the top-performing cryptocurrency (from the top 100 club) and currently trades at around $0.000005647 (per CoinGecko’s data). This marks its highest point since mid-November last year.

The impressive performance of the frog-themed meme coin prompted some analysts to pay closer attention and outline bullish predictions. X user James Wynn, who is known for his highly speculative bets, is among them.

Several hours ago, he argued that crypto’s bull run is not over, saying there is a strong possibility that PEPE could be “at the forefront of memes leading the way as money flows into T1 memes and proper fundamental altcoins.”

Wynn made an interesting comparison between PEPE and SHIB, reminding that the latter experienced a major uptick towards the end of 2021, with its market capitalization briefly exceeding $40 billion.

X user curb.sol also presented an optimistic forecast, albeit more modest than Wynn’s scenario. The analyst assumed that the frog-themed token looks ready for its next leg up to a market cap of over $10 billion.

Correction on the Horizon?

It is important to note that meme coins are known for their volatile nature, and sharp pumps (such as the recent one of PEPE) are often followed by significant pullbacks.

The asset’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) supports the bearish possibility. The technical analysis tool measures the speed and magnitude of the latest price changes to help traders spot reversal spots. It ranges from 0 to 100, and ratios above 70 signal that PEPE is overbought and due for a potential correction. As of this writing, the RSI stands at 83.

Meanwhile, X user Crypto Tony noted PEPE’s “good run” and said they will wait for a pullback before entering the ecosystem.

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…
