Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is reportedly close to finalising an agreement to invest in Italian company Leonardo’s aerostructures business unit.
Talks between Leonardo and the sovereign wealth fund are almost complete, Bloomberg reported, citing unidentified sources.
The proposed deal intends to create a global aerostructure business, the report said. An aerostructure is a component of an aircraft’s frame, such as the fuselage.
A planned meeting between Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at a Gulf summit in Bahrain, slated for the first week of December, will be central in securing final government approvals, the sources said.
The proposed deal will provide financial support for the Leonardo division, which has been losing money.

The aerostructures unit supplies major structural components for Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner, but has reported losses due to a production slowdown in the US.
The Italian government owns 30 percent of Leonardo.
Italy signed agreements worth around $10 billion with Saudi Arabia in January as part of a strengthened strategic partnership.

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…
