PANews reported on October 28th that the Financial Times reported that, as the UK's stance towards the crypto industry becomes increasingly friendly, a British crypto company plans to list on the London Stock Exchange, marking the first digital asset company's IPO in recent years. KR1, headquartered in the Isle of Man and specializing in cryptocurrency staking, plans to transfer its listing from the small-cap Aquis Exchange to the London Stock Exchange's main board to attract more institutional investors. Co-founder Keld van Schreven described the move as "the starting gun for listings in this new asset class" and predicted that more crypto companies would follow. He emphasized that KR1, with a market capitalization of approximately £56 million, is "the first true digital asset company to be listed in London, not simply a financial package." Due to stricter LSE rules, KR1 has hired additional auditors and expanded its board of directors. The transfer is reportedly expected to be completed next month.PANews reported on October 28th that the Financial Times reported that, as the UK's stance towards the crypto industry becomes increasingly friendly, a British crypto company plans to list on the London Stock Exchange, marking the first digital asset company's IPO in recent years.

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…
