The bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX announced in December last year that its court-approved restructuring plan is scheduled to take effect on Jan. 3, 2025. As part of the plan, initial repayments to priority claimants are expected to begin within 60 days of this date.
Taiwan-based digital asset management platform Steaker, which was affected by the FTX bankruptcy, has been striving to mitigate the impact of the collapse on its operations and users. In response, the company introduced the “Dawn Project,” a compensation initiative that has achieved a settlement rate of over 85% to date, reflecting steady progress in resolving challenges arising from the incident.
Since the project’s launch, Steaker has adhered to a monthly compensation schedule as outlined in its public updates. The company has also collaborated with relevant parties in the US to facilitate the full implementation of the project and safeguard the interests of affected users.

As an impacted platform, Steaker emphasized its commitment to responsibility and fairness. Nearly two years after the FTX incident, the company confirmed that, neither Steaker nor its founder has been formally indicted related to the case. Steaker continues to engage with relevant authorities and remains fully committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
To ensure faster compensation delivery, Steaker urged users interested in joining the project to promptly complete the required documentation. Doing so helps streamline the process and enables the company to expedite compensation once repayments are issued by FTX.
For users already participating in the project, Steaker reminded them to verify that their exchange wallets designated as the EOA (Externally Owned Account) address for receiving compensation are valid, as exchanges may update wallet addresses. Ensuring accuracy is crucial to prevent users from failing to receive their compensation.

Steaker expressed gratitude to its users for their trust and support. The company stated, “We appreciate the continued patience and encouragement of our users as we work diligently to ensure fair and timely compensation.” Positive feedback from users has motivated the team and strengthened trust in Steaker’s efforts.
The company added that it is closely monitoring developments in the FTX bankruptcy proceedings and will provide updates to users as soon as specific repayment details are available. Compensation arrangements will be processed promptly upon confirmation.

France cannot afford to ignore the third credit-rating reduction in less than a year, French Minister of Finance Roland Lescure said. “Three agencies have downgraded us and we can’t ignore this cloud,” he told Franceinfo on Saturday, speaking just hours after S&P lowered his country’s credit rating to “A+” from “AA-” in an unscheduled move. “Fundamentally, it’s an additional cloud to a weather forecast that was already pretty gray. It’s a call for lucidity and responsibility,” he said, adding that this is “a call to be serious.” The credit assessor’s move means France has lost its double-A rating at two of the
AI BOOST: Although Taiwan’s reliance on Chinese rare earth elements is limited, it could face indirect impacts from supply issues and price volatility, an economist said DBS Bank Ltd (星展銀行) has sharply raised its forecast for Taiwan’s economic growth this year to 5.6 percent, citing stronger-than-expected exports and investment linked to artificial intelligence (AI), as it said that the current momentum could peak soon. The acceleration of the global AI race has fueled a surge in Taiwan’s AI-related capital spending and exports of information and communications technology (ICT) products, which have been key drivers of growth this year. “We have revised our GDP forecast for Taiwan upward to 5.6 percent from 4 percent, an upgrade that mainly reflects stronger-than-expected AI-related exports and investment in the third

RARE EARTHS: The call between the US Treasury Secretary and his Chinese counterpart came as Washington sought to rally G7 partners in response to China’s export controls China and the US on Saturday agreed to conduct another round of trade negotiations in the coming week, as the world’s two biggest economies seek to avoid another damaging tit-for-tat tariff battle. Beijing last week announced sweeping controls on the critical rare earths industry, prompting US President Donald Trump to threaten 100 percent tariffs on imports from China in retaliation. Trump had also threatened to cancel his expected meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) in South Korea later this month on the sidelines of the APEC summit. In the latest indication of efforts to resolve their dispute, Chinese state media reported that
