The EUR Reward paid on Stakes in Dukascoins

The Bank pays a Staking Reward in EUR for fixed term Dukascoins stakes. The EUR Staking Reward will be paid at the beginning of the stake’s term and blocked until the term’s expiration. The Bank may manage and limit the maximum size, term, and rate of the offered EUR reward at its own discretion and at any time. The Bank guarantees that this change will not affect stakes allocated before the date of the conditions change.

The reward rate depends on the stake term. The longer the stake's period, the higher the Stake Reward rate paid out.

The minimum amount of Dukascoins to be staked and kept in order to participate in the EUR Reward staking program is 500 Dukascoins. The total amount of Dukascoins allocated for this reward program by separate MCA account holder can not exceed 100 000 Dukascoins.

Expected annual return of participation in the EUR reward staking program with 1 year Stake

^* Expected annual return is calculated in assumption that average exchange rate of DUK+ will remain the same till the maturity date of the Stake. Dukascopy Bank does not guarantee exchange rate of Dukascoins to EUR, and the price can decrease or increase according to customer demand.

Each Stake is considered as a separate contract. Two staking amounts can’t be summed up without cancelling each other out. To obtain the guarantee that a Stake will be accepted by the Bank, any client may declare their intention in advance, request a letter of confirmation and clarify the terms and conditions with the Bank.

If a client requests to cancel a stake in Dukascoins allocated in the Bank before the maturity date, the client will be charged a penalty of 5% of the allocated amount in Dukascoins and will not be entitled to the EUR Reward for that particular Stake. Same approach will be applied to the cancelled stakes allocated in Blockchain with the exception of not applying the 5% penalty.

INCOME GENERATING EXAMPLES FOR COIN AND FIAT REWARD STAKES

Let's assume that the client is considering different investment options offered by different banks. As a rule, the annual rate of return for such an asset allocation is around 0.2-2%. Staking Reward programs offered by Dukascopy Bank through Dukascoin as the intermediary vehicle may appear to be a way more attractive option. Use cases described below will help to compare income-generating staking programs available for Dukascopy Bank clients with other conventional forms of investments.

Please, bear in mind that Dukascopy Bank does not guarantee exchange rate of Dukascoins to EUR, and the price can decrease or increase according to customers demand.

USE CASE 1. One year Coin Stake Reward projected profitability in case if the exchange rate of Dukascoins remains unchanged at the expiration of the Stake term.

Let's assume that you have 1,500 EUR and consider “moderate” return of Dukascoin Coin Stake Reward for an amount of approximately 100 DUK+. In this case you can accumulate on your MCA account 1,500 EUR and buy 1,000 DUK+ on internal marketplace at the current exchange rate of 1.5 EUR per 1 Dukascoin. According to the current reward rate schedule your yearly income rate will be 9.5 or 10.5% (95 DUK+ or 105 DUK+) depending on the stake storage place. Stakes allocated with the Bank have 9.5% reward and stakes allocated with Your ERC-20 supported external blockchain wallet have 10.5% reward rate. Thus, at the expiration of the Stake you will have 1,095 DUK+ or 1,105 DUK+. In case if the exchange rate of Dukascoin stays at the same level of 1.5 EUR per 1 Dukascoin, you will be able to sell 1,105 DUK+ at 1.5 and get back 1,657.5 EUR. As a result, the yearly rate of return in fiat currency will be: 1,657.5/1500 * 100 - 100 = 10.5%.

USE CASE 2. One year Coin Stake Reward projected profitability in case if the exchange rate of Dukascoins rises to 2 EUR per 1 Dukascoin at the expiration of the staking term.

Let's assume that you have 22,500 EUR and consider applying for the Dukascoin Coin Stake Reward with the aim of collecting of approximately 1,800 DUK+. In this case you will need to invest 22,500 EUR and buy 15,000 DUK+ on the internal marketplace at the current exchange rate of 1.5 EUR per 1 Dukascoin. According to the current staking reward rate schedule your yearly income rate will be 11.5% or 12.5% (1,725 or 1,875 DUK+) depending on the stake storage place. Thus, at the expiration of the Stake you will get your 15,000 DUK+ returned back and a reward of 1,875 DUK+ on top. In case if the exchange rate of Dukascoin reaches 2 EUR per 1 Dukascoin you will be able to get back already 33,750 EUR by selling your 16,875 Dukascoins at the rate 2 EUR per 1 Dukascoin. As a result, the yearly rate of return will be: 33,750/22,500 * 100 - 100 = 50%

Clients looking for a more conservative type of investment combining crypto and fiat income may be interested to consider another staking reward program offered by Dukascopy Bank – EUR Reward staking. This staking program currently offers a reward of 0.14 EUR per every Dukascoin allocated on Dukascopy Bank custody for 1 year and 0.028 eurocents per every Dukascoin allocated in Dukascopy Bank custody for 3 months.

USE CASE 3. One year EUR Reward Stake projected profitability in case if the exchange rate of Dukascoins rises to 2 EUR per 1 Dukascoin at the expiration of the staking term.

You decided to buy 50,000 DUK+ and allocate this amount to a EUR Reward Staking. You will need 75,000 EUR available on your MCA account to buy 50,000 DUK+ on the internal marketplace at the rate of 1.5 EUR per 1 Dukascoin. The yearly income gained on a 50,000 DUK+ stake will be 7,000 EUR. Thus, at the stake deposit expiration date you will get your 50,000 DUK+ returned back and a reward of 7,000 EUR on top. If you immediately decide to sell the 50,000 DUK+ at the exchange rate of 2 EUR per 1 Dukascoin at the expiration of the stake term you will get a total of 100,000 EUR on your MCA account. The yearly rate of return will be 107,000/75,000 * 100 - 100 = 42.7%.
