Trump Media (Nasdaq, NYSE, Texas: DJT) has set the 2nd of February for a token airdrop for shareholders who hold at least one whole DJT stock, as part of its blockchain rewards strategy. 

The firm, associated with U.S. President Donald Trump, owns the social media platform Truth Social and fintech firm Truth.Fi.

The plans were first announced last year and have now advanced to the final stages. 

The associated rewards would be tied to discounts and benefits for the firm’s products, spanning Truth Social, its prediction market, Truth Predict, and its streaming platform, Truth+. 

Interestingly, the move comes at a time when regulatory clarity in the tokenization space is in doubt, as momentum for the CLARITY Act stalled last week.

However, the firm said that the digital tokens will be for rewards only and won’t represent ownership in the company (not tokenized securities). 

Trump Media’s CEO and Chairman, Devin Nunes, clarified, 

He further added,

Impact on TRUMP memecoin?

The firm will use the Crypto.com chain, Chronos [CRO], to mint and custody the tokens and will share them periodically with DJT holders.

However, since the token won’t be tradeable and isn’t equity, this implies it will be a new token, different from the Official Trump [TRUMP] memecoin or the Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial [WLFI].  

Following the update, TRUMP memecoin slipped 4%, effectively round-tripping its 2026 recovery gains.

The memecoin recovery hit 23% and tagged $5.8 before market sentiment reversed and dragged it back to $5, the level that kicked off this year’s rally. 

At the time of writing, the memecoin was barely holding above $5, trading at $4.9. 

Besides, apart from a slight interest in Binance, as tracked in Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), overall demand for the memecoin remained negative in the past few days.

Overall, the novel blockchain rewards being pushed by Trump Media could set a precedent for other use cases linking traditional shareholders as tokenization gains momentum. But the TRUMP token was bearish after the update. 

Final Thoughts 

  • Trump Media plans to roll out token airdrops to shareholders from the 2nd of February for rewards and discount benefits linked to its products. 
  • TRUMP memecoin remained bearish after the update and shed 4% and was barely holding above $5 at press time.

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…
