ChainCatcher message, DEXX explained the questions and issues related to the compensation progress in a post on platform X:Regarding the order of compensation, it is carried out from the smallest to the largest amount;Regarding the compensation progress: from the 8th to the 14th, all users with "secure wallets + staked" 5000U and below have been compensated. On the 15th and 16th, user feedback was collected to address any gaps; on the 16th, compensation for users with 5000-8000U has begun.Regarding the compensation speed not meeting user expectations, DEXX stated: "Recently, we have received a lot of feedback on Telegram indicating that users believe they are within the compensation range but have not received compensation. However, upon checking, we found that some had already been compensated 1-3 days ago, while others did not receive compensation due to not having staked or not having generated a secure wallet. Within 2 days, we received a total of 863 similar private messages/customer service tickets. After verification, only 152 cases were found to be valid, and the large number of duplicate private messages/customer service tickets slows down the compensation process."Regarding "why the amount has been compensated in the 5000-10000 range, but I have not received compensation," DEXX stated: "To successfully receive compensation, two conditions must be met: a secure wallet must have been generated at the time of compensation, and the NFT must have been staked. Most users did not generate a secure wallet at the time of compensation. If you check your wallet and indeed have not received compensation, please ensure that you have generated a secure wallet and staked your NFT before contacting customer service to register."Users who have not yet claimed their NFTs need to manually register with customer service as the claiming channel has been closed, and their compensation will be postponed.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bitcoin.com, based on a report by Galaxy Digital's Vice President of Research Christine Kim, over 50 traditional companies, including financial institutions like Deutsche Bank and Paypal, as well as brands like Louis Vuitton and Adidas, are developing cryptocurrency-specific applications on Ethereum and its L2 networks, focusing on non-speculative use cases such as RWA tokenization, NFTs, Web3 gaming, and scalable infrastructure.The report states that Ethereum is leading in RWA tokenization, with the value of managed assets nearly 10 times that of Stellar. Among 20 financial institutions building crypto infrastructure, 13 are issuing RWA, including BlackRock's BUIDL. Stablecoins are also thriving on Ethereum, with Paypal's PYUSD and Robinhood's USDG driving a 70% supply surge in 2024, while Ethereum holds over 50% of the $400 billion stablecoin market.Investment in scalable infrastructure emphasizes enterprise adoption. Deutsche Bank is developing a compliant financial solution on Ethereum L2 with ZKSync, while Sony's L2 project Soneium targets gaming and entertainment. These projects highlight Ethereum's role as a customizable foundation for enterprise-grade blockchain.Additionally, the centralized roadmap for Ethereum L2 balances scalability and security, attracting institutions seeking effective on-chain solutions. Regulatory tailwinds, including the SEC's focus on tokenization and collaborations like Stripe's $1 billion acquisition of stablecoin platform Bridge, indicate increasing mainstream adoption.Galaxy's report concludes that Ethereum remains the preferred chain for finance-focused crypto services, with RWA and stablecoins expected to expand by 2025. Kim noted, "As the most decentralized, widely covered, and longest-running general-purpose blockchain, Ethereum serves as a gateway for many institutions to incubate and launch finance-focused crypto services and products."
