Gate founder Dr. Han: Gold represents a safe floor, Bitcoin bets on a future ceiling.
News Brief
Gate.com founder Dr. Han recently weighed in on the gold-versus-Bitcoin debate as global uncertainty continues to mount. With gold reaching all-time highs and market volatility surging, investors are scrambling for safe assets once again. Though Bitcoin and gold frequently draw comparisons, Dr. Han believes they're fundamentally distinct. Gold serves as a reliable "safety floor," having stood the test of time across millennia. Bitcoin, however, wasn't designed as a refuge—it's essentially a wager on future growth potential. As institutional finance increasingly embraces crypto, Gate.com has aggressively expanded into TradeFi, introducing precious metals, forex, indices, and equities. According to CoinGlass data, Gate.com's gold contract (XAUT) recorded over $483.00 million in 24-hour trading volume, securing third position globally.
PANews reported on January 30th that, according to official sources, Gate.com founder and CEO Dr. Han shared his views on the market positioning of gold and Bitcoin on the X platform. Dr. Han pointed out that against the backdrop of rising global political and economic uncertainty, gold prices have reached new historical highs, market volatility has also increased significantly, and funds are seeking certainty again.
Dr. Han argues that while the market has long compared Bitcoin to gold, the two are fundamentally different. Gold's continued allocation during volatile periods stems from its "safety floor" attribute, repeatedly validated throughout millennia of history; while Bitcoin has never been defined as a safe-haven asset, its value logic lies more in betting on future growth potential.
As traditional financial assets continue to gain traction in the crypto market, Gate.com has recently accelerated its expansion in the TradeFi space, gradually adding trading instruments such as precious metals, forex, indices, and stocks. According to CoinGlass data, Gate.com's XAUT (gold) contract saw a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $483 million, ranking third globally.

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…
