The Kinesis Card is a custodial, virtual-only Mastercard that lets users spend tokenized allocated gold (KAU) and silver (KAG) alongside crypto with automatic instant fiat conversion at the point of sale. It rewards spending with up to 2% cashback paid in physical gold rather than a token, plus recurring precious-metal yield, though total spend-based earning is capped. Card spending costs roughly 2.17% (1.95% provider fee plus 0.22% execution) with a 1% FX fee and no monthly charge. It is live in 50+ EU-focused countries but excludes the US.
