LONDEN — (BUSINESS WIRE) — De valutacrisis die de Turkse lira overspoelt, zal deze week waarschijnlijk verergeren, aangezien de besmetting zich wereldwijd verspreidt. De volatiliteit op de valutamarkten heeft beleggers ertoe aangezet te streven naar de stabiliteit die wordt geboden door veilige toevluchtsoorden zoals goud, waar een waardestijging van 0,4 procent samenviel met de val van de Lira.

Tom Coughlin, CEO van Kinesis, het monetair goudsysteem dat door blockchain wordt ondersteund becommentarieert:

“De sterke stijging van de goudprijs van de afgelopen dagen als gevolg van de Turkse Lira-crisis weerspiegelt een stijgende trend onder beleggers die hun beleggingen willen beschermen tegen volatiliteit veroorzaakt door politieke instabiliteit. Dit wordt aangevuld door de groeiende tendens van decentralisatie die de onderliggende goudprijs sinds het begin van het jaar met 2% heeft doen stijgen.

Growing Turkish Lira Crisis Drives Investors to Seek Safe Haven in Gold

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The currency crisis engulfing the Turkish Lira is likely to intensify this week as the contagion becomes more widespread around the world. The volatility on the currency exchanges has led investors to pursue the stability offered by safe havens such as gold, which saw a hike in value by 0.4 per cent coinciding with the crash of the Lira. ¹

Tom Coughlin, CEO of Kinesis, the bullion backed blockchain monetary system, comments:

“The sharp rise in the price of gold seen in the past few days off the back of the Turkish Lira crisis, reflects a rising trend amongst investors wanting to protect their investments, from volatility caused by political instability. This is supplemented by the growing trend of decentralisation which has driven the underlying price of gold up 2% since the start of the year.”

Investment in blockchain has doubled in the past year, with 82 per cent of ICO investors citing decentralisation as the main driver behind their investment. ² Despite this trend, blockchain investments have suffered price volatility. The Kinesis Monetary System was created to address this specific challenge.

Tom continues: “When you buy the currency, you instantly purchase real gold or silver. This is secured in vaults around the world, free of charge. Your ownership of the gold is then digitised using blockchain technology, meaning you can hold or transfer your currency from the Kinesis digital wallet, spend the currencies easily using a debit card wherever Visa/Mastercard is accepted, or trade them on the Kinesis Blockchain Exchange. Your holding can even be transferred back to physical gold or silver.

“The Kinesis monetary system ushers in a new era of accessibility, reliability, transparency and efficiency to the investor community. Its express mission is to deliver an internationally usable monetary system, designed to give back to those who participate, and thus create a solution for the global need for sound, reliable money.”
