Key takeaways

  • AVAX is up by less than 1% and is trading below $12.
  • VanEck launched the first Avalanche ETF in the United States.

VanEck’s AVAX ETF goes live

The first exchange-traded fund to track the Avalanche’s native token, AVAX, and include staking rewards, launched on the NASDAQ stock exchange. 

VanEck’s Avalanche ETF debuted on Monday and is trading under the ticker symbol VAVX. According to the investment management firm, VAVX is the first and currently the only U.S.-listed ETP focused on providing investors with exposure to the price return and potential staking rewards of Avalanche’s native token, AVAX.

Avalanche is one of the leading blockchains in the crypto space. It is an EVM-compatible blockchain launched by Ava Labs in 2020 with the primary goal of improving existing crypto scalability, interoperability, and usability. 

As a smart contract blockchain, Avalanche can execute contracts automatically when certain conditions are met.  

VanEck Director of Digital Assets Kyle DaCruz pointed out that Avalanche is a unique blockchain because it can link traditional finance and blockchain.

“Avalanche’s architecture is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the on-chain economy, focusing on verifiable, real-world utility,” DaCruz added.

AVAX fails to rally

The AVAX/USD 4H chart remains bearish as AVAX fails to rally despite the launch of the VAVX ETF. At press time, AVAX is trading at $11.75.

The momentum indicators remain bearish, suggesting that the bears remain in control. The RSI of 40 is below the neutral 50, while the MACD lines below the neutral region add further bearish confluence to the pair. 

If the bearish trend continues, AVAX could retest Sunday’s low of $11.24 over the next few hours or days. An extended bearish performance could see AVAX drop below the $10 psychological level.

However, if the market recovers, AVAX could hit the first major resistance level at $12.5 in the near term.

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…
