PANews reported on November 19th that, according to Cryptopolitan, Robinhood announced a three-phase plan to enable DeFi app users to use tokenized stocks permissionlessly, leveraging Arbitrum Stylus for compatibility. The final phase will make stock tokens completely permissionless, allowing users to use them across various dApps. AJ Warner, Head of Strategy at Offchain Labs, stated that Robinhood is laying the foundation for the transition of traditional finance to a permissionless ecosystem. The recent launch of tokenized stocks in Europe is the first step, covering approximately 800 publicly traded securities, with plans to expand into private equity. Currently in Phase One, EU users can buy tokenized shares within the app, but cannot transfer them out; they are for in-app use only. Phase Two focuses on infrastructure, leveraging the acquired Bitstamp to enable 24/7 trading of stock tokens, breaking traditional trading time limitations. In Phase Three, users and DeFi protocols will be free to use permissionless tokens, such as buying Apple tokenized shares and using them as collateral. This marks a shift in retail investment methods, with tokenized shares becoming programmable modules in the open financial system; this phase represents a long-term strategic move.PANews reported on November 19th that, according to Cryptopolitan, Robinhood announced a three-phase plan to enable DeFi app users to use tokenized stocks permissionlessly, leveraging Arbitrum Stylus for compatibility.

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…
