Could do it with pure stablecoin.

Texas has proposed a gold-backed digital currency, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35866856

> The comptroller would also be required to create a mechanism that would allow the new gold-backed digital currency to be used by citizens for their daily transactions. “In establishing the digital currency the comptroller shall establish a means to ensure that a person who holds the digital currency may readily transfer or assign the digital currency to any other person by electronic means.”
