“Infinitely Better”: LINK Could Beat XRP Over the Next 10 Years, Says Lark Davis

Is Chainlink replacing Ripple in Japan?

The post “Infinitely Better”: LINK Could Beat XRP Over the Next 10 Years, Says Lark Davis appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The debate around Chainlink vs XRP is heating up again and this time, it’s about which crypto project is actually built to last.

During a recent Rollup TV discussion, crypto newsletter founder Lark Davis shared a clear stance on where he thinks the next decade is headed.

Davis explained that his view comes down to how each network is built.

In his words, Chainlink is infrastructure, while XRP operates more like a closed system. Chainlink’s technology allows different blockchains to communicate and move assets between them, instead of staying locked inside one ecosystem.

He also pointed out that Chainlink has recently introduced token buybacks, something that gives LINK holders a clearer value proposition after years of focusing mainly on utility.

XRP Usage Remains a Question

While Davis was critical, he didn’t completely write XRP off.

He acknowledged that XRP has a strong community, loyal holders, and growing institutional interest. In fact, spot XRP ETFs have now crossed $1 billion in total inflows, showing continued demand from larger investors.

Still, Davis questioned XRP’s real-world usage, noting that daily activity hasn’t grown much despite the project being around for more than a decade.

“I understand why people are investing in XRP,” he said. And if Ripple’s leadership executes perfectly, he believes the upside could still be there. “If Chris and Brad do it right… it’s going to go to, I don’t know, ten bucks or something at some point.”

Infrastructure Is Becoming the Bigger Story

Crypto is shifting toward infrastructure, interoperability, and regulated access – areas where Chainlink continues to expand, including through the Grayscale Chainlink ETF (GLNK).

For Davis, that shift is why the next ten years may look very different from the last and why he believes Chainlink is better positioned for what’s coming next.

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…
