Federal Reserve's Hamak: Neutral interest rate may be higher than generally expected; November inflation may have data collection distortions.
PANews reported on December 21 that, according to Jinshi, Federal Reserve official Hamak stated that the positive inflation data for November may be due to data collection distortions caused by the government shutdown in October and the first half of November, thus underestimating 12-month price growth. Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 2.7% year-on-year increase in the November CPI, the estimate, adjusted for measurement difficulties, brought it closer to the 2.9% or 3.0% level commonly expected by forecasters. Furthermore, Hamak's core concern regarding interest rate cuts lies in her view that the neutral interest rate is higher than generally believed, and that the economy itself has the momentum to maintain robust growth next year. The neutral interest rate cannot be directly observed, but it can be inferred from the state of the economy.

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…
