Great questions!
Till now, stablecoins gave no benefit.
As I mentioned above, the stablecoins being generated by Kinesis:
- Are transacted at lower fees than typical payment cards.
Most payment cards have fees of roughly ~3%. However, Kinesis aims to keep this around 0.5% and hopefully increased adoption can push it even lower. So, consider it as an ever-extended black friday sale of 2.5% lower costs on everything.
- Are generating rewards upon usage.
The system will be cored around its users: the people. So, the fees being charged will be distributed to those who actively spend the stablecoins. Think of it as something similar to the cash-back rewards your cards offer. The purpose of this is to push people to use the stablecoin over fiat.
- Will benefit from gold's appreciation.
Fiat currencies have depreciated since their placement. Gold has appreciated on the long-term.
I will discuss these factors in detail in later posts.
