Arthur Hayes, a well-known figure in the crypto market and founder of BitMEX, continues to increase his position in HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

According to data shared by Hyperliquid News, Hayes acquired an additional 16,434 HYPE via the Gate exchange on February 16th.

Following the latest transaction, Hayes’ total HYPE holdings have risen to 205,629,927. Based on current market prices, this amount is worth approximately $6.12 million.

Hayes’ recent increase in purchases of HYPE has attracted attention among investors, with market participants interpreting this move as a sign of confidence in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

Hyperliquid, which is growing particularly in the decentralized derivatives sector, stands out with its increasing trading volume and user interest, and this is cited as one of the factors supporting demand for the token.

On the other hand, details were not shared regarding whether Hayes’ purchase was made directly from the spot market or through another transfer method. However, this transaction, which took place via Gate, was recorded by on-chain tracking platforms.

While high volatility persists in the crypto market, large investors increasing their positions in certain altcoins can have a short-term impact on prices. Analysts emphasize that such accumulations can strengthen market sentiment, but investors should not neglect risk management.

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…
