They have been asked (by Treasury, if I recall correctly) to participate in a test of such a currency (Central Bank Digital Currency, but if they don't rush out a half-baked version of their digital dollar, it could take a while.
While we cannot yet know whether a CBDC will happen or what form it will take, what is certain is that the growth of #cryptocurrencies is inspiring this global trend of investigation the creation of national CBDCs.
