Peso weakens further to track yen’s drop

THE PESO dropped further against the dollar on Tuesday to follow the yen’s decline as markets expect the Japanese government to support its falling currency.

The local unit closed at P58.91 per dollar, weakening by four centavos from its P58.87 finish on Monday, Bankers Association of the Philippines data showed.

The peso opened the session lower at P58.93 against the greenback. Its intraday best was at P58.84, while its worst showing was at P58.935 versus the dollar. Dollars traded inched up to $1.169 billion on Tuesday from $1.167 billion on Monday.

The peso dropped “with the US dollar/Japanese yen still among 10-month highs recently at ¥156 levels after the latest stimulus plan as the new prime minister is expected to adopt pro-growth policies,” Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. Chief Economist Michael L. Ricafort said in a Viber message.

“The dollar-peso closed a tad higher, trading at a narrow range amid lack of market movers,” a trader said in a phone interview.

For Wednesday, the trader sees the peso moving between P58.80 and P59.10 per dollar, while Mr. Ricafort expects it to range from P58.80 to P59.05.

The Japanese yen remained on intervention watch on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Despite the greenback’s slight weakness this week, the Japanese yen has been on the defensive, trading at ¥156.70 per dollar, not far from the 10-month low of ¥157.90 that it touched last week.

Traders have been waiting for signs of government intervention to support the Japanese currency, which has weakened by nearly ¥10 since the start of October after fiscal dove Sanae Takaichi took over as Japan’s prime minister.

Verbal jawboning from government officials has failed to stem yen weakness. Market analysts believe an official intervention, similar to moves last year and in 2022, could be on the cards. — A.M.C. Sy with Reuters

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

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…
