PANews reported on September 24th that QCP Capital analysts believe market sentiment has shifted from panic to recalibration. The Federal Reserve's recent 25 basis point insurance rate cut re-started easing, but Powell framed it as risk management rather than the start of a deep easing cycle. With economic activity remaining robust and core inflation near 3%, future rate cuts are likely to remain shallow unless economic growth slows significantly. Long-term yields rose due to term premiums and supply pressures, pushing stocks to new highs and gold to a record high. Gold briefly broke through $3,700 before retreating. The dollar rebounded alongside U.S. Treasuries, indicating that a one-way short position on the dollar is no longer risk-free. Analysts believe that the Federal Reserve's policy may remain tight, with room for adjustment relative to the lower neutral rate, which could lower the threshold for further easing. However, consumer resilience and slow hiring and firing dynamics in the labor market allow the Fed to act cautiously. Furthermore, with Europe and Japan no longer significantly outperforming the United States, the dollar may have bottomed out, while gold and Bitcoin reflect market skepticism about the return of hawkish policies.PANews reported on September 24th that QCP Capital analysts believe market sentiment has shifted from panic to recalibration.

QCP Capital: The market is shifting from panic to adjustment, and the Fed's interest rate cuts may be limited

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…
