Experienced Analyst Speaks About the Decline! “Bitcoin is Falling Due to US President Donald Trump’s Announcement Today!”

After a long period of deliberation, US President Donald Trump will finally announce his nominee for the FED chairman today.

It was reported that the number of candidates was narrowed down to two, Kevin Warsh and Rick Rieder, and this was claimed to have negatively impacted Bitcoin.

Accordingly, the increasing likelihood of former FED Chairman Kevin Warsh being appointed as the next FED Chairman is intensifying the downward pressure on Bitcoin (BTC).

Although Warsh occasionally takes a positive stance towards cryptocurrencies, some analysts consider him a bearish force for Bitcoin.

Speaking to Coindesk, Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, stated that Warsh advocates for higher real interest rates and lower liquidity.

Thielen also noted that Warsh views cryptocurrencies as speculative tools that will disappear when the era of low interest rates ends.

Thielen noted that over the years, many experts had shown that Warsh’s hawkish stance and his disregard for the risks of deflation had worsened the crisis.

According to Thielen, Warsh repeatedly spoke of inflation risks during the global financial crisis (GFC), which lasted from December 2007 to June 2009, even when the global economy was teetering on the brink of deflation.

In September 2008, when Lehman Brothers collapsed, Warsh said, “I’m still not ready to give up on my concerns about inflation.” Seven months later, with the Fed’s inflation measure at 0.8% and the unemployment rate at 9%, Warsh stated, “I’m more concerned about the upside risks of inflation than the downside risks.”

At this point, Thielen argues that Warsh’s hawkish track record sharply clashes with Trump’s inflationary, pro-rivalry strategy, making Warsh’s potential candidacy ironic.

Trump has repeatedly criticized Jerome Powell, accusing him of keeping interest rates high and killing the economy. At this point, Thielen believes the market thinks Warsh is the wrong choice for the Fed, which is expected to follow Trump’s line.

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…
