Can anyone point to one single instance of a bank creating or talking about creating an actual cryptocurrency?
And I don't mean tokenising USD or using a blockchain in whatever form to make payments and settlements smoother. Those are all payment layers built to move fiat, not standalone currencies.
Citibank; Sberbank - although both are laughable as ever being able to achieve global status.
JP Morgan - never to be trusted or counted out. They obviously have the most skin in the game, and a huge footprint, and a disgusting amount of insider support from the USA. Only a fool bushes them off lightly. But I don't really see it.
Bank of England and some of the European Banks seem to be the main pitchmen for the concept of a Fed Coin. Most likely scenario is something pegged to the IMF XDR. And from an acceptance standpoint that wouldn't be as difficult as you may think.
And the comment "creating an actual cryptocurrency" tends to focus people on the wrong thing. Actually creating the Coin from a technology standpoint would be nothing. Its the acceptance / social angle that is at the heart of it. The IMF-XDR route would be easily accepted by the global governments as they already use it. This would just be layering a Cryptocurrency on top of the existing system.
But the game is still Bitcoins to lose. Danged if "you" aren't trying hard to shoot yourselves in the foot though.
