Yakuza zero gold IS xp since you both buy equipment and purchase skills with Yen.

What is "Gold xp loop"?
Get xp for gold/treasure?
Use gold to purchase xp?
Does it have to be "gold" or any currency?

Dragon Age: Origins would give you exp for giving loot to various factions you had recruited as "war effort" resources, infinitely repeatable. This got ridiculous with the Elven faction which accepts herbs and has a vendor that sells infinite herbs. So you could buy as much exp as you like if you have the gold (and there are also infinite gold loops in the game).

The badly phrased OP is asking how many games let you buy experience by paying gold for it.

Grimoire - Patron Ardent (and a lot of gold) could be used to buy the next level at shrines.
Some games like M&M, Exile and Pool of Radiance demanded gold for trainig, not only XP.

This question is tricky, because the answer can change anytime, because new games are being released and are in developement, so one can not answer precisely. Don't believe me? Come back here in 2025 and try to answer the question. You'll be amazed.

Yakuza games, at least 0 and Kiwami 1. All the Dark Souls since souls function both as currency and experience points. Also many Japanese action-adventures where you buy new moves using the same currency you use to buy consumables. God Hand and DMC for example.
