Token Slips 3.3% to $1.59 as Broader Crypto Market Weakens

TON$1.6431 dropped 3.3% over the past 24 hours to $1.596, retreating alongside the broader crypto market even as trading volume and ecosystem expansion suggest growing institutional interest.

The token climbed to $1.6929, then lost steam through the day before finding support near $1.5930, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model.

The decline came despite a 20% surge in trading volume over the seven-day average, often a sign of accumulation behind the scenes. However, price action lagged, with TON struggling to break above the $1.65 level. This volume-price mismatch may reflect patient buying from institutions rather than retail-driven momentum.

Messaging platform Telegram — which uses the TON ecosystem as the backbone of its Web3 infrastructure — has officially introduce its crypto wallet service in Uzbekistan. Following regulatory approval, residents there can now use locally issued bank cards to buy and trade crypto through Telegram, providing TON with a new foothold in Central Asia although the wallet’s launch doesn’t necessarily translated to demand for the cryptocurrency.

Technically, the outlook remains mixed. TON is consolidating below resistance at $1.65, with support forming just above $1.59. Traders are watching for a breakout above the $1.70 zone to regain bullish momentum, while failure to hold the current level could open a path toward $1.55 or lower.

For now, the token’s fundamentals, rising onchain revenue and wallet adoption, are battling against short-term market pressure and uncertainty surrounding the future direction of the crypto space as a whole.

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…
