Kinesis Gold (KAU) and Silver (KAG) now live on Mercado Bitcoin

Kinesis gold (KAU) and silver (KAG) is now live for trading on Mercado Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Brazil, by trading volume, and the leading digital asset platform in Latin America.

The listing places 1:1 allocated gold and silver in front of active digital asset users across the region, introducing the Kinesis brand to one of the world’s largest and most active digital asset markets. Founded in 2013, Mercado Bitcoin has spent over a decade establishing itself as the leading digital asset platform across Latin America, serving Brazil, the sixth-largest country in the world by population. For Kinesis, securing a listing here places gold and silver-backed digital currency within one of Latin America’s most trusted digital asset ecosystems, on a platform that has earned the confidence of a significant user base across the continent.

Mercado Bitcoin supports a comprehensive range of localised fiat deposit methods, including PIX, BRL bank transfers via TED and DOC and international wire deposits, making it one of the most accessible platforms in the region. In Latin America, the listing opens up a direct, low-cost onramping option for depositing fiat funds in the region. Users can open an account on Mercado Bitcoin, deposit in local currency, purchase gold (KAU) directly, and either trade within the exchange or transfer gold (KAU) to the Kinesis platform to access the full range of benefits, including the upcoming Kinesis Virtual card launching in LatAm this year.

Additionally, gold (KAU) and silver (KAG) holders across Mercado’s significant user base can gain exposure to the broader Kinesis Monetary System. As awareness builds across the region, this integration introduces Kinesis to a substantial new audience, expanding reach and engagement over time. Increased participation drives greater activity across the Kinesis Monetary System, contributing to a deeper master fee pool and higher monthly yields distributed to all Kinesis users.

Kinesis gold (KAU) and Kinesis silver (KAG) are now available across two trading pairs on Mercado Bitcoin:

• KAU / BRL
• KAG / BRL

The introduction of BRL trading pairs provides users across Brazil and the wider Latin American region with a direct on-ramp into gold (KAU) and silver (KAG) in their local currency, without the need for prior currency conversion. For crypto-native users, BRL pairs provide a flexible alternative entry point, offering multiple routes into Kinesis gold (KAU) and Kinesis silver (KAG) depending on how users choose to transact.

Kinesis and Mercado Bitcoin will be collaborating on joint marketing initiatives to reach a strong user base, ensuring widespread awareness and driving engagement with Kinesis gold and silver-backed digital assets in the region.

For users across a region where currency volatility is a lived reality, this listing also establishes a direct pathway into the stability and security of gold and silver. For users in Brazil and across Latin America, this creates direct access to gold and silver in local currency, at a time when demand for reliable stores of value continues to strengthen across the region.

This listing expands access to gold (KAU) and silver (KAG) across Brazil and Latin America, ahead of the forthcoming Kinesis Virtual Card rollout across the region, which will enable Kinesis users to spend physical gold and silver as part of everyday life. 

The Mercado Bitcoin listing marks another important step in Kinesis’ continued expansion across global digital asset exchanges, placing Kinesis gold (KAU) and Kinesis silver (KAG) on the region’s leading platform at a time when interest in physical, real-world assets has rarely been greater. This listing brings direct access to gold and silver to users across Brazil and the wider Latin American region.
