PANews reported on September 26 that Dallas Federal Reserve President Logan said the Fed should abandon its use of the federal funds rate as a benchmark for conducting monetary policy and instead consider an overnight rate tied to the more robust U.S. Treasury-backed lending market. Logan believes the federal funds rate target is outdated, and the link between the little-used interbank market and the overnight money market is fragile and could suddenly break. She said updating the Fed's mechanisms for implementing monetary policy would be part of an efficient and effective central banking system. "Some might say that since everything is working now, there's no need to act," Logan said. "But if the transmission mechanism between the federal funds rate and other money markets breaks down, we will need to find an alternative target quickly. I don't believe that making important decisions under time pressure is the best way to promote a strong economy and financial system." She said the Tripartite General Guaranteed Rate (TGCR) could offer the most benefits. Logan noted that the TGCR covers over $1 trillion in daily transactions, allowing changes to be effectively transmitted through money markets. Meanwhile, trading volume in the federal funds market currently averages less than $100 billion.PANews reported on September 26 that Dallas Federal Reserve President Logan said the Fed should abandon its use of the federal funds rate as a benchmark for conducting monetary policy and instead consider an overnight rate tied to the more robust U.S. Treasury-backed lending market.

Fed's Logan: Fed should abandon federal funds rate and use Treasury bond overnight rate instead

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…
