Kinesis Pay, the gold- and silver-backed payment gateway from Kinesis Money, is making waves with a major upgrade: it now supports 11 new digital assets alongside KAU (gold), KAG (silver), and USD1 (Kinesis’s USD-backed stablecoin). This innovation deepens merchant appeal and broadens payment flexibility—here’s how small businesses can benefit now and in the future.

At AvidCube Studios, we specialise in building Kinesis Pay (KPay) enabled websites and offer complete solutions for online storefronts that accept Kinesis payments. Whether you’re launching a new e-commerce venture or integrating KPay into your existing site, our team ensures seamless, secure, and optimized implementation.

What’s New in Kinesis Pay

Diverse Payment Options

Merchants can now accept payments in top cryptocurrencies like XLM, XRP, XDC, DASH, DOGE, TRX, ALGO, AVAX, HBAR, and USDC, in addition to KAU, KAG, and USD1. Transactions typically finish in under 60 seconds, although XDC, AVAX, DASH, and DOGE might take a bit longer due to ongoing optimizations.

Smooth, Merchant-Friendly Upgrade

Kinesis Pay’s new WordPress plugin and checkout interface offer:

  • QR-code-based ordering via the Kinesis app
  • Order-tracking that syncs when browsers close prematurely
  • Improved frontend aesthetics and user experience

Why This Matters for Businesses

1. Reach More Customers Globally

With 11 additional crypto options, merchants tap into diverse user bases—crypto-savvy shoppers seeking alternatives to fiat currency. Kinesis Pay’s global merchant map and upcoming directory also spotlight your business to sound-money adopters.

2. Boost Revenue & Yields

As transaction volume grows, Kinesis pays yield on KAU and KAG holdings—another benefit for participating merchants. Accepting digital assets becomes not just a payment option, but a yield-generating revenue stream.

3. Trust Through Transparency & Speed

Blockchain-backed payments offer verifiable, secure transactions. Fast settlements and visible transaction tracking add credibility at checkout.

With AvidCube Studios, you can confidently launch or upgrade your e-commerce store to fully support KPay, knowing your platform is built for performance, security, and growth.

What’s Next for Kinesis Pay

More Assets, Faster Processing

Kinesis plans to integrate even more digital currencies and improve transaction speeds—especially for newly added tokens.

Portfolio of Fiat Stablecoins

Kinesis will roll out seven additional Currency One fiat-backed stablecoins alongside USD1. These will let merchants and shoppers transact in familiar fiat-pegged tokens with Kinesis’s strong compliance framework.

Enhanced Merchant Exposure

Launching alongside the stablecoin rollout is a dedicated merchant directory. Businesses accepting KAU, KAG, crypto, or the new fiat stablecoins will be featured—driving discoverability and multi-currency engagement.

Ongoing Feature Expansion

  • Kinesis is investing heavily in iterative improvements:
  • Enhancements to the WordPress plugin
  • Next-gen merchant dashboards
  • Tools to track payments, sync orders, and view real-time analytics

    Is the merchant able to restrict payment only to certain assets/currencies?

      Hi Bob – Thanks for the question. Merchant prioritization of the specific currency for payment is not yet in place, but I understand this is an expected future feature.
