It was an interesting year in the cryptocurrency space. The expectations were high, with numerous calls for new peaks for almost all assets. And while that turned out to be true for BTC, XRP, ETH, and BNB, many others couldn’t come anywhere near their previous heights.

Moreover, even those who managed to set new record slumped in the following months and are on the verge of closing the year in the red, despite (almost) all other assets painting impressive gains.

2025 also saw the launch of the much-anticipated Pi Network and its native token, which quickly took the crypto market by storm and neared the top 10 alts by market cap. Its price charted an all-time high of almost $3.00 in late February, and the speculations about a $314 price tag (the number π) were rampant.

However, the reality was entirely different as the token plunged by over 94% by early October when it plummeted to a new all-time low of $0.172 (CoinGecko data) despite the countless updates by the Core Team behind the project. By Christmas 2025, PI managed to recover a modest portion of its losses and stands above $0.20, but that’s still 93% away from the February peak.

With 2026 just around the corner, we asked ChatGPT about its opinion on whether PI can have a happier Christmas next year.

How Will 2026 Be for PI?

Well, the simple and fast answer is – not really. The AI solution claimed that PI would have to stay above the first major support at $0.20 to reignite a potential rally to $0.24 and beyond. However, the current trend is “short-term bearish,” while the trading volumes are low and continue to decline – a certified warning sign.

To have a better year, PI would need a strong bounce from the current support, while the network behind it would require a boost in several areas, continued ChatGPT. First, the token would need more utility, which should result in “stronger demand.”

The AI platform added that the market conditions matter immensely, and they can also determine PI’s next move. If BTC and the larger-cap alts continue to struggle as they have been for the past couple of months, PI could challenge the October all-time low of $0.172. In contrast:

Conclusion

In terms of actual price predictions, ChatGPT believes the most likely scenario for PI next year would be a solid stabilization above $0.22 and a top of $0.35. However, it also outlined a possible bull case in which the asset skyrockets all the way up to $0.65 if the Core Team “launches major app integrations, improves migration rates, and expands real-world utility.”

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…
