PANews reported on October 15th that according to CoinDesk, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser explicitly stated that tokenized deposits, not stablecoins, will be the primary driver of the next generation of payments and financial market infrastructure. During the Q3 earnings call with investors, she stated that institutional clients are seeking low-cost, compliant, and seamless real-time cross-border funds flows, and that tokenized deposits are the best way to achieve secure, reliable, multi-bank interoperable, and always-on payment solutions. Citi has invested heavily in digital asset infrastructure, and its tokenization services connect over 250 banks in over 40 markets, enabling instant transfers. However, Fraser noted that a barrier to widespread adoption lies in the difficulty corporate finance departments face in adapting to a 24/7 financial environment. Citi will continue to support stablecoins, but they carry compliance burdens such as anti-money laundering and tax reporting, which tokenized deposits can circumvent. She also cautioned against excessive speculation in stablecoins, stating that most issues can be resolved through tokenized deposits. She noted that in the future, tokenized applications will extend far beyond payments, with all types of asset issuance and settlements expected to be tokenized. Furthermore, regulators are promoting responsible innovation, which Citi will incorporate into its toolkit.PANews reported on October 15th that according to CoinDesk, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser explicitly stated that tokenized deposits, not stablecoins, will be the primary driver of the next generation of payments and financial market infrastructure.

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…
