Kinesis gold (KAU)

Kinesis gold (KAU) is a digital currency. Each KAU is backed by one gram of fine gold stored in fully insured and audited vaults, in your name. Through blockchain technology, Kinesis has digitalised the proof of ownership of physical precious metals. With KAU, you can trade, earn, and make payments in physical gold, anywhere in the world.

Kinesis gold opens users up to the numerous benefits of owning gold without the burden of storage, insurance, or account fees. As a digital asset, it combines the everyday utility of a currency, backed by the value of the precious metal. This allows KAU to overcome the volatility problem affecting traditional cryptocurrencies.

There are two different kinds of orders to trade gold (KAU) on the Kinesis Exchange – a market order or a limit order.

A market order allows you to instantly buy or sell precious metals at the current market price.

A limit order allows you to set the price at which you wish to buy or sell KAU or KAG. The trade will only be executed when the market price corresponds with your chosen price. Limit orders effectively allow you to trade automatically, entering and exiting markets at the price you wish.

The Holder’s yield is a passive yield earned on every single gram of gold (KAU) – and silver (KAG) – held with Kinesis. The yield will be paid monthly in gold and silver for as long as you hold your precious metals with us.

The Holder’s yield is calculated from a 15% share of Kinesis’ global transaction fee revenue, distributed among all the KAU and KAG holders in the Kinesis system.
