Crypto executives criticize California's proposed 5% wealth tax

2025/12/29 11:00

PANews reported on December 29th, citing Cointelegraph, that a proposed 5% wealth tax on the net worth of billionaires in California has drawn strong opposition from cryptocurrency industry executives. The proposal, titled the "Billionaire Tax Act of 2026," would tax individuals or entities with a net worth exceeding $1 billion at 5% to fund healthcare and state aid programs. Because the tax would partially apply to unrealized gains, it could force wealthy individuals to sell assets to pay the tax. Industry figures such as Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley and Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell have publicly opposed the move, arguing it would lead to an outflow of entrepreneurs and capital and questioning the efficiency of government spending. U.S. Representative Ro Khanna (California's 17th District) defended the proposal, stating that the funds would be used to improve childcare, housing, and education, contributing to American innovation.

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…
