Second XRP ETF for Bitwise 

Bitwise filed for its spot XRP ETF with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2024. The company launched the Bitwise Physical XRP ETP, ticker GXRP, across Europe in 2022.

Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan said in a statement that “XRP is a really intriguing asset,” because it “has operated successfully for a very long period of time at extremely low cost, it processes high transaction volumes, and it has a really strong and vibrant community of supporters.”

More XRP ETFs incoming 

Canary Capital’s ETF XRPC launched on Nov. 13 under the ticker XRPC, and garnered over $250 million of inflows during its first trading day. 

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said in an X post on Wednesday, “Lots happening next week,” and predicted Grayscale’s and Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF will likely go live on Nov. 24. 

At the same time, Hougan said on Wednesday that with the US government’s shutdown now over, he expects “ETF-palooza,” with over 100 fund launches.

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…
