  No, currently there is no country that backs its digital currency with a gold standard. The gold standard is a monetary system where the value of a country's currency is directly linked to a specific amount of gold. While some countries have explored the idea of creating digital currencies, none of them have implemented a gold standard to back them. Instead, digital currencies are typically backed by the trust and confidence of the users, as well as the technology that supports them.

  Unfortunately, no country has adopted a gold standard for its digital currency. The gold standard was widely used in the past, but it has been abandoned by most countries. Digital currencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are decentralized and do not rely on any physical assets like gold. Their value is determined by supply and demand, as well as market factors. While some countries are exploring the use of digital currencies, none of them are currently using a gold standard.

  As of now, no country has implemented a gold standard for its digital currency. The gold standard was a system where the value of a country's currency was directly linked to a specific amount of gold. However, with the rise of digital currencies, such as Bitcoin and Ripple, countries have shifted away from the gold standard. These digital currencies are based on blockchain technology and their value is determined by market forces. While some countries are considering the use of digital currencies, none of them have adopted a gold standard backing.
