Operated through the Mastercard payment network, the Kinesis card allows crypto holders to instantly sell their digital assets and use the proceeds to transact at 80 million locations globally.

With inflation rising worldwide, people are seeking alternatives to devaluing fiat currency. Accessible via mobile in minutes, the Kinesis Virtual Card brings the everyday utility of cryptocurrency to those looking to leave shaky financial systems behind. The target market includes Argentina, which is expected to reach 100% inflation by the end of 2023.

The card supports 10 leading digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDC and Kinesis’ original gold and silver-backed stablecoins, KAU and KAG. Additionally, through Kinesis’ usage-based returns system, KAU and KAG users earn a prorated 10% share of all transaction fee revenue that is paid back at the end of each month.

In Q4 2023, Kinesis will launch Kinesis Pro, a professional crypto trading platform offering high liquidity, institutional security and a wide range of crypto pairs. The launch of Kinesis Pro will further diversify the range of cryptocurrencies that can be used with the Kinesis Virtual Card.

Kinesis will continue to roll out its card program globally, with a US-specific virtual and physical card program next in line. The Kinesis Virtual Card brings new utility to digital assets, equipping the global community with a way to break away from the inflation-driven problems faced by traditional currencies.

With its proven utility and universal value, Kinesis has advanced a means to fully integrate cryptocurrencies into the wider economy as money, removing all barriers to its global adoption .

By enabling cryptocurrency spending via the Kinesis Virtual Card, we have provided individuals with a working solution for depreciating currencies. Kinesis Virtual Card is truly the union of everything we want to provide users.”

Garth Howat, CEO of Baanx, said: “It has been truly wonderful to work with this partnership. We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to work with the Kinesis team to develop a life-changing product that brings real benefits to gold and silver.
