The U.S. Financial Stability Oversight Council announced a relaxed approach to cryptocurrencies and stablecoins in its 2025 annual report unveiled on December 11, highlighting regulatory advances and institutional integration.

The FSOC’s shift reflects regulatory milestones like the GENIUS Act, fostering a climate of supervised innovation, impacting market dynamics and institutional adoption of digital assets.

Notable contributors include Scott Bessent, FSOC Chair, and regulatory bodies like the Federal Reserve and SEC. The shift aligns with the GENIUS Act, which provides federal stablecoin oversight, enabling safer institutional integrations.

Shift in Cryptocurrency Perception

The report’s revision has significant implications for financial markets, as crypto assets are now viewed as areas for regulated innovation. Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are experiencing enhanced credibility as a result.

FSOC’s policy shift could influence financial, political, and technology sectors by encouraging banks to engage in crypto activities under federal guidelines, thus expanding the accessibility of digital assets.

FSOC’s transition emphasizes reducing concerns over market contagion and illicit usage. With the GENIUS Act, banks can hold stablecoins, strengthening market confidence.

Potential outcomes involve increased regulatory clarity and institutional engagement in the crypto market. Historical regulatory trends suggest continued integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional financial systems, reducing perceived vulnerabilities.

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…
