Earn a lifelong yield for bulk gold & silver purchases

Due to the institutional precious metals liquidity of Kinesis, you are able to mint as much gold and silver as you wish. However, you must always mint in lots of 100 grams of gold (KAU) and 200 ounces of silver (KAG).

For example, you could choose to mint 500 grams of gold (KAU), or 1200 ounces of silver KAG.

The minimum amount of gold you can mint is 100 grams (100 KAU).

The minimum amount of silver you can mint is 200 ounces (200 KAG).

Yes, we call this process Exchange Physical for Digital (EPD). 

If you have eligible* existing bullion holdings, held at an ABX-approved location, you can bring that bullion into our vaults and exchange that physical metal for Kinesis gold and silver-based digital currencies. 

Converting your bullion into Kinesis gold (KAU) and silver (KAG), allows you to receive a passive yield on your physical gold and silver, securely stored across multiple vaults globally, without charge. Additionally, holding KAU and KAG allows you to spend your physical gold and silver for everyday transactions, with the Kinesis card.

 *subject to conditions within the ABX Quality Assurance Framework

The Minter’s Yield is designed to reward Kinesis users for minting and then using new KAU and KAG.

 To be eligible for the Minter’s Yield, you must first create your own Kinesis currencies in the minting process, either using fiat currency or through Exchanging Physical for Digital (EPD).

You then activate your Minter’s Yield by either selling or trading your newly minted KAG or KAU on the Kinesis Exchange, spending them with your Kinesis card or transferring them to an unrelated, verified account or wallet.

We are able to offer Kinesis users chargeless storage on their precious metals holdings, by utilising the robust vaulting network of ABX. 

Additionally, a share of Kinesis global transaction fee revenue is allocated to covering vaulting costs.

All Kinesis gold and silver holdings are fully redeemable.

Kinesis and ABX understand the absolute necessity of physical redemption in gold and silver provision. As a matter of imperative assurance, Kinesis offers physical redemption on all precious metals behind your gold and silver-based digital currencies.

Kinesis currency holders are fully entitled to redeem the underlying bullion the Kinesis gold (KAU) and silver (KAG) are based on, subject to withdrawal fees and minimum withdrawal requirements. The redemption cost and minimum withdrawal requirements of Kinesis are among the lowest in the industry.

Kinesis enables users to redeem as little as 100 grams of gold or 200 ounces of silver, with a fee of 0.45% + $100 USD + delivery costs.

We provide redemption of the underlying bullion through our logistic partners Loomis, Brinks and Malca-Amit.

Redemption is available from the Settings tab of your Kinesis account.
