The Long-Awaited Day Has Finally Arrived! US President Donald Trump Announced He Will Announce the FED Chairman Today! Here Are the Last Two Names!

The sharp decline in Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins that began on Thursday evening continues, and the long-awaited day has finally arrived.

According to news outlets such as Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times, US President Donald Trump said he will officially announce his nominee for the next head of the Federal Reserve (FED) on the 30th, which is today.

Trump also announced that the final list of candidates had been narrowed down to two: former Federal Reserve official Kevin Warsh and BlackRock Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Rick Rieder.

However, sources speaking to Bloomberg indicated that Trump is more inclined to choose Warsh.

According to the forecasting market Polymarket, the probability of Warsh being nominated as the next Fed chairman has risen from 30% to 94%, while the probability of the previous favorite, BlackRock executive Rick Rieder, has fallen to 3%.

It was also noteworthy that Kevin Hassett, former head of the White House Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) and considered a leading candidate, was not included in the final list of nominees.

What are Kevin Warsh’s Views on Bitcoin?

Kevin Warsh, who served as a Fed governor during the 2008 financial crisis and has experience in crisis management, enjoys broad support from Wall Street and Republican circles.

Kevin Warsh has a much more positive view of Bitcoin. In a speech in July, Warsh rejected the idea that Bitcoin could weaken the Fed’s ability to manage the economy, stating instead that Bitcoin “could provide market discipline.”

Warsh had also stated that Bitcoin could function as a balancing factor in fiscal policy decisions.

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…
