PANews reported on October 30th that, according to The Block, IQ and Frax jointly announced on Thursday the launch of KRWQ, a stablecoin pegged to the Korean Won (KRW). In a press release, the two companies stated that with the launch of the KRWQ-USDC trading pair on the Aerodrome platform, KRWQ becomes the first stablecoin pegged to the Korean Won on Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 network. KRWQ is also the first multi-chain token pegged to the Korean Won, adopting LayerZero's full-chain fungible token (OFT) standard and leveraging the Stargate cross-chain bridge to enable token transfers across multiple blockchains. IQ announced that it will draw on Frax's expertise in regulatory compliance, particularly its experience with frxUSD, in the design of KRWQ to support institutional adoption and due diligence. Meanwhile, due to the ongoing efforts in South Korea to establish basic rules for stablecoins, KRWQ has not yet been marketed or offered to South Korean residents. The minting and redemption of this stablecoin are also limited to eligible counterparties such as exchanges, market makers, and institutional partners.PANews reported on October 30th that, according to The Block, IQ and Frax jointly announced on Thursday the launch of KRWQ, a stablecoin pegged to the Korean Won (KRW).

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…
