As of March 26th Brian Brooks, a former Fannie Mae executive and former CLO of Coinbase, has accepted the position of COO at the U.S Office of the Comptroller of Currency. This is a clear indication that the US is preparing their entrance into the world of digital currency. My guess is that Coinbase will gain access to the US market with their new Visa card based on current trends.
Timing is everything, and China appears to be positioning itself to jump in at the right time. Two days before Brooks accepted the position, China grew closer to their goal of releasing the digital Yuan. Many "private" companies in China have completed the groundwork for a digital currency. This is the new Cold War.
The currency of tomorrow will likely be hybrid: digital coupled with physical; i.e. a form of cryptocurrency backed by physical gold and silver. Despite our delayed start we still have time.
