Deutsche Bank Reports €5.3 Billion in Net Loss for 2019 as It Counts the Cost of Restructuring

Deutsche Bank Reports €5.3 Billion in Net Loss for 2019 as It Counts the Cost of Restructuring

A year of reorganization has left its mark on Germany’s leading financial institution. Deutsche Bank revealed this week it suffered significant losses in the last quarter and all of 2019. The banking giant claims that the damage is “entirely driven by transformation-related effects” such as compensation for sacked employees and devalued assets.

New Strategy is Gaining Traction, CEO Says

In a report published Thursday, Deutsche Bank announced a pre-tax loss of €2.6 billion (over $2.85 billion) and explained it had to absorb transformation charges of €1.1 billion, goodwill impairments of €1 billion as well as restructuring and severance expenses of €805 million. The bank’s net loss for 2019 amounts to the staggering €5.3 billion (almost $5.85 billion). The figure includes transformation-related deferred tax asset valuation adjustments of €2.8 billion.

Deutsche Bank Reports €5.3 Billion in Net Loss for 2019 as It Counts the Cost of Restructuring

In Q4, Deutsche Bank had a pre-tax loss of €1.3 billion, including transformation charges of €608 million and another €473 million in restructuring expenses. The net loss of €1.5 billion incorporates deferred tax asset valuation adjustments of approximately €400 million. According to the report, the transformation-related effects were largely in line with the expectations. Last year, the bank incurred 70% of the total costs to achieve the goals of the reorganization program which was launched in July and will continue through 2022. Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing stated:

Our new strategy is gaining traction. Stabilizing revenues in the second half of 2019 and our consistent cost discipline both contributed to better operating performance than in 2018. Our client business is developing well, right across the bank.

The chief executive insisted the bank has a strong capital position and expressed confidence that it is capable of financing its transformation with own resources and eventually returning to growth. The report details, however, that Deutsche Bank’s revenues are down 2%, with pre-tax profit at €543 million. But if specific revenue items and transformation charges are taken out of the equation, the bank claims an adjusted pre-tax profit of €2.8 billion, or up 7% from the 2018 figure.

Deutsche Bank Slashed Over 4,000 Jobs in 2019

The Frankfurt-based financial institution is explaining the losses with the need to deal with the serious problems accumulated through the years. The measures introduced in 2019 included writing down the value of some assets and cutting 4,100 jobs. Last summer, Deutsche Bank announced it’s going to lay off at least 18,000 people by 2022, a fifth of its global workforce that should be reduced to 74,000 as it scales down investment banking and equities sales and trading operations. The bank’s management was also considering to cut up to 20% of its bonus pool and suspend the 2019 and 2020 dividend in order to reduce costs further. In 2018, €1.9 billion were paid in bonuses, despite a 14% cut.

Deutsche Bank Reports €5.3 Billion in Net Loss for 2019 as It Counts the Cost of Restructuring

The German lender has been dogged by many problems that have left observers concerned about its prospects. Being one of the world’s largest financial institutions, its current state inevitably contributes to the risks for Germany’s economy and the global financial system. Deutsche Bank is not an isolated case in Europe, where many other banks have been struggling to overcome the consequences of the 2008 meltdown.

This week, the European Central Bank published the results of its 2019 Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process. The ECB uses a scoring system to assess financial institutions, taking into account the viability and sustainability of business models, the adequacy of internal governance and risk management, the risks to capital, and the risks to liquidity and funding. With 1 being the best and 4 the worst score, the share of banks receiving an overall score of 3 increased to 43% in 2019 from 38% last year, only 18% achieved a score of 2, and no significant bank scored 1.

The review also indicated that the earnings of Europe’s most important banks are below their cost of capital. Business model risk remains a key area of concern due to low profitability, the ECB remarked in a press release while also emphasizing that internal governance continues to deteriorate. “Findings show that in a significant number of instances management bodies are not effective and internal controls are weak,” ECB concluded in the report.

Zcash Community Votes to Distribute 20% of Mining Rewards to Infrastructure Development

Zcash Community Votes to Distribute 20% of Mining Rewards to Infrastructure Development

The Electric Coin Company, a group that supports the development of Zcash (ZEC), announced the community has voted to distribute 20% of the ZEC network’s mining rewards to infrastructure and marketing development. The ZEC development funding proposal was initiated because the coin’s Founder’s Reward expires in November and after block 1,046,400, ZEC miners will only get 80% of the block subsidy.

Also read: Bitcoin.com Update: Dev Fund Proposal ‘Will Not Go Through’ Without More Agreement

Zcash Community Votes to Allocate 20% of the Block Rewards to the Zcash Foundation, Electric Coin Company, and Grants

Zcash is a digital currency that was released on October 28, 2016, and the project aims to enhance a ZEC user’s privacy. Similarly to BTC, zcash has a fixed supply of 21 million units but the currency also offers zero-knowledge proof transactions. While some ZEC transactions can be transparent, others can be “shielded” using a cryptographic element called zk-SNARKs. Last August, the creator of zcash and the CEO of Electric Coin Company (ECC), Zooko Wilcox, wrote a letter to the community asking them to consider a new development fund.

“I hope that the community will decide to renew the ‘Dev Fund’ structure, allocating coins from future block rewards for core support functions such as software development, user support, business development, regulatory and government outreach, security auditing and monitoring, educational and marketing initiatives, new protocol development, and so forth,” Wilcox wrote at the time. The developer also emphasized that ECC could be hired to continue focusing on those goals.

Zcash Community Votes to Distribute 20% of Mining Rewards to Infrastructure Development

On January 28, ECC’s Josh Swihart wrote a blog post explaining that for four years 80% of the ZEC miners’ reward went to miners, 15% was allocated to investors and founders (Founder’s Reward), and 5% was given to core development. Swihart further noted that the 15% Founder’s Reward will expire in November so the Zcash Foundation decided to poll the community in order to come up with a new funding plan for development. The ZEC community recently finished the poll and voted to “create a new development fund with 20 percent of the mining rewards.”

“While the miners receive 80 percent as of block 1,046,400,” Swihart detailed. “Assuming we have agreement with the Zcash Foundation, this will be implemented in November 2020, to coincide with the first scheduled Zcash halving when the total block rewards will be reduced to half as much ZEC per block.” Swihart further added:

The development fund will be distributed to ECC (7% of mining rewards), the Zcash Foundation (5% of mining reward) and an additional fund to be used for grants to support third-party Zcash efforts (8% of mining rewards). Grant participants will receive the largest portion of development funds which will further decentralize Zcash-related efforts. Stipulations were also introduced for formal accountability and reporting requirements of each participant.

Zcash Community Votes to Distribute 20% of Mining Rewards to Infrastructure Development
7% of the funds will be allocated to ECC, the Zcash Foundation will get 5%, and 8% will be used for grants.

Bitcoin Cash and Zcash Supporters Share Their Opinions About the Poll Results

The infrastructure development news follows the recent funding proposal for Bitcoin Cash initiated by Btc.top founder Jiang Zhuoer. The BCH funding proposal was met with mixed feelings and the BCH community discussed the proposal relentlessly for seven days. Following the week-long debates, Bitcoin.com’s mining operation updated the community and explained they “will not go through” with the proposal without more consensus from the community at large.

Zcash Community Votes to Distribute 20% of Mining Rewards to Infrastructure Development

The BCH community on the Reddit forum r/btc also discussed the ZEC development fund and how the Zcash community voted to use block rewards to fund ECC, the Zcash Foundation, and grants. “Not sure if it is a desirable outcome,” one Redditor wrote in response to the ZEC coinbase rewards plan. A few BCH supporters disliked the Zcash decision to use mining rewards to fund infrastructure and marketing development and others seemed optimistic about the plan. One individual noted that ZEC investors and founders had already been paid in a similar fashion. “Basically nothing changes for miners, the 20% will just be distributed differently,” the Redditor explained.

Swihart and ECC are pleased with the voting process and that the community has chosen to initiate the infrastructure development fund. “We would like to thank the Zcash community for its trust, encouragement, thoughtful engagement and for making its voice heard,” Swihart’s blog post concluded. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to continue to focus our efforts on this important project and its potential to bring economic freedom and opportunity for all of humanity.”

On the Reddit forum r/zec, ZEC supporters seemed very supportive of the decision as well. “This is good for Zcash,” an individual wrote on the forum. After the development fund was voted on by the ZEC community, the price of zcash spiked and the digital asset is up 40% this week.

Blockchain.com Launches Full Turkish Lira Banking Integration as a Native Payment Gateway for Turkey

Blockchain.com Launches Full Turkish Lira Banking Integration as a Native Payment Gateway for Turkey

Blockchain.com has launched a full banking integration for Turkish Lira (TRY) to create a native payment gateway for users to deposit and withdraw Lira on its trading platform. With this development users in Turkey no longer have to incur high fees and conversion rates from third-party payment processors. Turkish traders have consistently been one of the most active countries on the company’s exchange since it launched last Summer.

Native Turkish Lira Gateway

Blockchain.com, the well-known provider of cryptocurrency products with over 40 million wallets created to date, has launched a full banking integration for Turkish Lira (TRY) to create a native payment gateway for users to deposit and withdraw Lira on the Blockchain.com Exchange. Turkish users can now go from account creation to buying crypto without having to use a third-party payment processor. On the trading platform, Turkish people can now deposit, withdraw, and use TRY to buy bitcoin BTC, ETH and USDT and convert their crypto into the fiat currency of their choice.

“Turkey is one of the countries leading the charge to embrace cryptocurrencies, but its traders have only been met with high fees and poor service,” says Peter Smith, Co-founder and CEO of Blockchain.com. “Blockchain.com is dedicated to providing a fair, global market for Turkey’s crypto traders, and setting a new standard for the service they should not only expect, but demand from exchanges.”

Blockchain.com Launches Full Turkish Lira Banking Integration as a Native Payment Gateway for Turkey
Istanbul, Turkey

Economic concerns regarding the stability of the local fiat pushed cryptocurrency adoption in Turkey to grow faster than in most countries. At the start of the year it was reported that Turkish authorities, alarmed by the rapid spread of cryptocurrencies in the country, are ramping up efforts to introduce greater oversight into the sector.

Local media revealed that regulators are under pressure to increase supervision because of the growing popularity of decentralized crypto assets among Turks. Turkey has an estimated 1 million investors, according to local reports, and a fifth of Turkish respondents in last year’s Global Consumer Survey by Statista said they used or owned crypto, as news.Bitcoin.com reported in June 2019.

Blockchain.com Exchange

Blockchain.com is one of the most trusted companies in the digital assets space, and has raised over $70 million in funding from investors such as Lightspeed Venture Partners and Google Ventures. It is also known for being friendly to the BCH community, integrating the cryptocurrency into its services. About a year ago, for example, the company launched a Bitcoin Cash block explorer that allows users to search for detailed information on specific BCH blocks, check whether a transaction has confirmed, view the balance of a wallet address, monitor market prices, and even watch real-time network transactions.

Recently it launched a retail exchange focused on high speed performance. Since launching in August, the Blockchain.com trading platform has continued to adopt new features and assets. It now supports deposits and withdrawals in Pounds, US Dollars, Euros, and Turkish Lira, and is available in 190 countries. In the last two months, the venue has launched an API for algorithmic traders, listed the crypto project Algorand, and listed the gold-backed token DGLD, increasing its asset offering to 36 live trading pairs.
