2 BTC channel is huge. OKX opening this size shows exchanges are still betting big on Lightning for cheap BTC flow.
0256ccca... looks like a routing node - opening directly to an exchange node makes sense for flow.
Daily digests like this are gold for tracking where real liquidity is moving. mempool + 1ML links help verify.
Any idea on the fee policy for this channel? Curious if it's zero-base for exchange rebalancing.
