Such elevated profit-taking has historically signaled cycle tops, limiting further upside potential. For sentiment to shift, realized profits must decline meaningfully and indicate renewed accumulation across the board.

Institutions Buy as Shorts Surge

Institutional demand for Bitcoin remains strong, as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF flows posted a net gain of $2.71 billion this week. Major contributions came from IBIT and FBTC, while GBTC continued to post minor outflows.

This renewed ETF interest shows confidence is returning, even as shorts have grown aggressively, totaling $19 billion across the market. This large bearish positioning increases the chances of a short squeeze, especially if Bitcoin finds support.

On-chain data also points to rising Bitcoin dominance, suggesting capital rotation toward BTC from altcoins. Analysts believe this could extend the cycle slightly, even if only for a few weeks.

Fractal models still show alignment with previous four-year cycles, with the recent top falling just outside the usual timing window. Meanwhile, proprietary indicators remain consistent with past bull cycle tops and bottoms, though this time deviation raises new questions.

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…
