2020 has been an excellent year with record figures in terms of profitability.

The Bank’s net profit for 2020 was CHF 10.4 million. Additionally, considering its excellent financial results in 2020, Dukascopy Bank has allocated 4.0 mil to create a "Reserve for General Banking Risks", of which CHF 3.4 mil will reinforce its capital base. Without the constitution of this reserve, the net profit for the year 2020 would have reached CHF 13.8 mil.

Total income from ordinary banking operations increased by 43.1% compared to 2019. At the same time, in 2020, operating expenses were 13.8% below operating expenses in 2019. This growth is a result of increased client trading activity in response to strong volatility on financial markets.

The interim balance sheet and income statement of Dukascopy Bank and Dukascopy Group are available via this link.

After increased geopolitical tension, the risks associated with the newly introduced US sanctions against Russia and further uncertainty, Dukascopy Bank has decided to reduce the maximum exposure limit on USD/RUB and EUR/RUB instruments from 5 to 1 million of primary currency. It concerns all trading accounts. The measure intends to prevent possible clients losses in case of significant price gaps in the exchange rate of the Ruble. The maximum leverage on RUB instruments remains unchanged at 1:10.

The revised exposure limit takes immediate effect and will be in force until further notice.

Dukascopy continues to expand its list of more than 750 FX and CFD instruments with the addition of stocks and ETFs from US, Ireland, Hong Kong, France and Germany.

The stocks of the COVID-19 vaccine maker Moderna, Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio, US utility company Plug Power Inc, Uber, the stock of Zoom creators Zoom Video Communications, Chinese multinational electronics company's Xiaomi, Bank of Ireland, Ryanair and many others have been added to Live and Demo trading platforms.

New: 8 ETFs including LYXOR ETF Daily X2 Short Bund, Lyxor Leveraged CAC 40 and an ETF for STOXX Europe 600.

Multiple markets will be closed on Friday, April 2^nd, and during the upcoming Easter holiday weekend.

Dukascopy Bank is applying changes for its staking reward programs to make their conditions more relevant to the coin’s price and the current stage of the project. Please see below.

Staking programs with a reward in EUR have become more affordable with a significantly lower threshold, as the Bank is decreasing the amount of coins required to participate in the EUR reward staking program from 20 000 DUK+ to only 5 000 DUK+. The current reward rates remain intact at 0.1 EUR and 0.5 EUR per Dukascoin reward rate level for 3-months and 1-year stakes respectively if the stakes are allocated in Blockchain. For the stakes placed in the Bank, the new quarterly reward rate is 0.09 EUR per Dukascoin and the yearly rate is 0.45 EUR per Dukascoin. The difference of reward rates between the options of coins allocation in the Bank or in Blockchain is to cover storage-related expenses of the Bank.

There is also a positive change for participants of the staking program with a reward in DUK+: previously, the total amount of coins allocated into the reward could not surpass 25 000 DUK+ on any given Multi-currency account. This limit has been raised to 50 000DUK+.

The changes will come in force as of the moment of the news publication.

Clocks will be advanced by 1 hour this Sunday, 28^th of March in many European countries.
