    Anyone interested in a precious metal backed stable coin plus yield?

    If yes, what can you bring to the table?

      You probably need to rethink this. Where would the yield come from? Who stores the gold? Where's the trust?

      Ok, we buy $1m in gold and issue the coins. Gold price tanks, what to do?

        The price of the backing asset doesn't matter. 1 oz = 1 oz.
