Kinesis Gold

Kinesis Gold (KAU) is a tokenized gold asset where each token represents one gram of investment-grade gold bullion held in insured, audited vaults operated by Kinesis, a global trading and digital asset platform. It is designed for anyone who wants exposure to physical gold while retaining the ability to transact digitally across borders. The stated goal is to combine the stability of gold with the everyday usability of a currency, allowing holders to spend, transfer, or trade their gold holdings without selling through traditional commodity channels.

Each KAU token is minted to correspond directly to one gram of physical gold deposited into Kinesis vaults, so the circulating supply reflects the quantity of gold actually held in custody. The token exists within the Ethereum ecosystem and carries no independent consensus mechanism of its own, relying instead on the Ethereum network for settlement and transfer. Holders who keep KAU on the Kinesis platform receive a monthly yield paid in additional KAU, which the project describes as derived from a share of transaction fees generated across the Kinesis system.

The yield distributed to KAU holders is described as coming from a 15 percent share of fees collected by the Kinesis platform, though the full fee structure and the amounts collected are not detailed in the data stored here. No protocol-level fee metrics are recorded in this dataset, which means fee-based analytical measures that this site might ordinarily calculate are not available for KAU. The circulating supply stands at 3,982,681.46 tokens against a market capitalization of 529,362,460 US dollars, with the fully diluted valuation equal to the market cap because there is no maximum supply cap and the dilution overhang is recorded as zero.
