▌FTX restructuring plan opposed by US trustee and some creditors
The latest documents of FTX bankruptcy case show that the US trustee and some creditors have objected to FTX's revised restructuring plan. US trustee Andrew R. Vara pointed out ten major flaws in the plan, mainly involving the overly broad scope of legal exemptions, unequal compensation for creditors, and refusal to bear the costs related to data breaches. Vara particularly emphasized that "convenience" category customers will receive a lower compensation ratio simply because their claims are small.
At the same time, Sunil Kavuri, the representative of the largest FTX creditor group, also submitted a complaint, questioning the plan's exemption clauses as too broad and calling for the establishment of a physical repayment mechanism to avoid taxable events for creditors.
Currently, the confirmation hearing is scheduled for October 7, Beijing time, and no other objections are expected to be submitted. These objections could have a significant impact on FTX's restructuring process.

▌Jackson Hole Annual Meeting Report: Inflation may have a greater impact on the market after the interest rate hike
According to Jinshi, Michael Bauer, Carolin Pflueger, and Adi Sunderam published a report at the Jackson Hole Annual Meeting stating that it was only after the Fed started the interest rate hike cycle in 2022 that the bond market became more sensitive to inflation data. This means that the public does not understand the (monetary policy) strategy before the FOMC raised interest rates. "Consistent with the shift in perceived policy response, event studies show that interest rates are significantly more sensitive to surprises in inflation data after rate hikes. The increase in perceived inflation response may help monetary policy transmission to the real economy and improve the Fed's inflation-unemployment trade-off,"
▌CICC: The Fed's focus shifts from prices to employment and basically declares victory in the fight against inflation
Jinshi data shows that CICC commented on Fed Chairman Powell's Jackson Hole speech:
1. It is basically clear that the September rate cut is a done deal, in line with expectations. CME interest rate futures factor in a 76% probability of a 25bp rate cut in September and a 24% probability of a 50bp rate cut.
2. The Fed's focus shifted from prices to employment, basically declaring victory in the fight against inflation (saying that inflation expectations have been well anchored), and assessing the job market as no longer overheated, balanced, and with rising risks.
3. It is not mentioned how much the interest rate will be cut in the future. It still depends on the data. A 50bp rate cut is not realistic at present. At least we need to look at the non-farm data next month. Powell also does not think that the rising unemployment rate is a deterioration of the job market. He believes that it is mainly due to more people entering the labor market and slowing recruitment.
The attitude towards the job market is: observation and vigilance.

▌What is Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)?
DPoS is an evolution of the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, designed to provide enhanced scalability, efficiency and democratic governance. Daniel Larimer proposed the concept of DPoS in 2014 as an enhancement of the traditional PoS consensus mechanism, aiming to improve efficiency and scalability. Larimer first shared his vision in a Bitcointalk forum post, which led to the actual implementation of DPoS and the launch of BitShares in 2015. This marked the beginning of DPoS in blockchain technology, laying the foundation for its adoption in other projects such as Steem and Eos. Eos, in particular, used a consensus mechanism to conduct one of the largest initial coin offerings (ICOs) in the cryptocurrency industry in 2017, which attracted a lot of attention to DPoS and highlighted its potential in achieving high performance and decentralized governance.
