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.

CHIP WAR: Tariffs on Taiwanese chips would prompt companies to move their factories, but not necessarily to the US, unleashing a ‘global cross-sector tariff war’ US President Donald Trump would “shoot himself in the foot” if he follows through on his recent pledge to impose higher tariffs on Taiwanese and other foreign semiconductors entering the US, analysts said. Trump’s plans to raise tariffs on chips manufactured in Taiwan to as high as 100 percent would backfire, macroeconomist Henry Wu (吳嘉隆) said. He would “shoot himself in the foot,” Wu said on Saturday, as such economic measures would lead Taiwanese chip suppliers to pass on additional costs to their US clients and consumers, and ultimately cause another wave of inflation. Trump has claimed that Taiwan took up to
A start-up in Mexico is trying to help get a handle on one coastal city’s plastic waste problem by converting it into gasoline, diesel and other fuels. With less than 10 percent of the world’s plastics being recycled, Petgas’ idea is that rather than letting discarded plastic become waste, it can become productive again as fuel. Petgas developed a machine in the port city of Boca del Rio that uses pyrolysis, a thermodynamic process that heats plastics in the absence of oxygen, breaking it down to produce gasoline, diesel, kerosene, paraffin and coke. Petgas chief technology officer Carlos Parraguirre Diaz said that in
SUPPORT: The government said it would help firms deal with supply disruptions, after Trump signed orders imposing tariffs of 25 percent on imports from Canada and Mexico The government pledged to help companies with operations in Mexico, such as iPhone assembler Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密), also known as Foxconn Technology Group (富士康科技集團), shift production lines and investment if needed to deal with higher US tariffs. The Ministry of Economic Affairs yesterday announced measures to help local firms cope with the US tariff increases on Canada, Mexico, China and other potential areas. The ministry said that it would establish an investment and trade service center in the US to help Taiwanese firms assess the investment environment in different US states, plan supply chain relocation strategies and
Japan intends to closely monitor the impact on its currency of US President Donald Trump’s new tariffs and is worried about the international fallout from the trade imposts, Japanese Minister of Finance Katsunobu Kato said. “We need to carefully see how the exchange rate and other factors will be affected and what form US monetary policy will take in the future,” Kato said yesterday in an interview with Fuji Television. Japan is very concerned about how the tariffs might impact the global economy, he added. Kato spoke as nations and firms brace for potential repercussions after Trump unleashed the first salvo of
