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.

WEAKER ACTIVITY: The sharpest deterioration was seen in the electronics and optical components sector, with the production index falling 13.2 points to 44.5 Taiwan’s manufacturing sector last month contracted for a second consecutive month, with the purchasing managers’ index (PMI) slipping to 48, reflecting ongoing caution over trade uncertainties, the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER, 中華經濟研究院) said yesterday. The decline reflects growing caution among companies amid uncertainty surrounding US tariffs, semiconductor duties and automotive import levies, and it is also likely linked to fading front-loading activity, CIER president Lien Hsien-ming (連賢明) said. “Some clients have started shifting orders to Southeast Asian countries where tariff regimes are already clear,” Lien told a news conference. Firms across the supply chain are also lowering stock levels to mitigate
IN THE AIR: While most companies said they were committed to North American operations, some added that production and costs would depend on the outcome of a US trade probe Leading local contract electronics makers Wistron Corp (緯創), Quanta Computer Inc (廣達), Inventec Corp (英業達) and Compal Electronics Inc (仁寶) are to maintain their North American expansion plans, despite Washington’s 20 percent tariff on Taiwanese goods. Wistron said it has long maintained a presence in the US, while distributing production across Taiwan, North America, Southeast Asia and Europe. The company is in talks with customers to align capacity with their site preferences, a company official told the Taipei Times by telephone on Friday. The company is still in talks with clients over who would bear the tariff costs, with the outcome pending further
Six Taiwanese companies, including contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), made the 2025 Fortune Global 500 list of the world’s largest firms by revenue. In a report published by New York-based Fortune magazine on Tuesday, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密), also known as Foxconn Technology Group (富士康科技集團), ranked highest among Taiwanese firms, placing 28th with revenue of US$213.69 billion. Up 60 spots from last year, TSMC rose to No. 126 with US$90.16 billion in revenue, followed by Quanta Computer Inc (廣達) at 348th, Pegatron Corp (和碩) at 461st, CPC Corp, Taiwan (台灣中油) at 494th and Wistron Corp (緯創) at
NEGOTIATIONS: Semiconductors play an outsized role in Taiwan’s industrial and economic development and are a major driver of the Taiwan-US trade imbalance With US President Donald Trump threatening to impose tariffs on semiconductors, Taiwan is expected to face a significant challenge, as information and communications technology (ICT) products account for more than 70 percent of its exports to the US, Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER, 中華經濟研究院) president Lien Hsien-ming (連賢明) said on Friday. Compared with other countries, semiconductors play a disproportionately large role in Taiwan’s industrial and economic development, Lien said. As the sixth-largest contributor to the US trade deficit, Taiwan recorded a US$73.9 billion trade surplus with the US last year — up from US$47.8 billion in 2023 — driven by strong
