How to trade crypto for precious metals

In what’s been a chaotic few weeks for every crypto market, the stable value of the gold price has presented cryptocurrency investors with a welcome opportunity to stabilise or diversify their existing investment portfolio.

How to buy gold with Bitcoin, Ethereum or cryptocurrency?

Many Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) investors remain undecided on the best crypto exchange for trading between cryptocurrencies and precious metals.

With Kinesis, it’s easy and low-cost to buy gold with Bitcoin or buy silver with Ethereum, or even trade between any of the 20 – and growing – trading pairs available.

Bitcoin (BTC) will be made available for trading in the coming weeks, with Tether (USDT) being added to the list of markets available shortly.

The Kinesis Exchange makes it as simple to trade crypto for precious metals as trading between cryptocurrency on any Bitcoin exchange.

The Kinesis Exchange offers a gold and silver price competitive with the world’s leading physical bullion dealers, by offering the lowest price across our extensive network of vaulting partners spanning across 8 countries.

When the time comes to re-enter the crypto market, simply exchange gold for Bitcoin (BTC/KAU) or silver for Ethereum (ETH/KAG), or whichever trading pair meets your needs.

How does it all work?

The purchased physical gold and silver is represented on the blockchain by Kinesis digital gold and silver-based currencies, KAU and KAG.

It’s simple:

1 KAU = 1 gram of gold
1 KAG = 1 ounce of silver

The purchased physical gold and silver bullion behind the Kinesis currencies is stored securely across Kinesis’ state-of-the-art vaulting network – with no storage costs. It’s also important to note, we are not tying the price to 1oz of gold. In making units of gold available on the exchange by the gram, we make it easy for anyone to buy and sell gold.
