The amount of sweeping reform the US Gov would need to overcome in order to take action on this is pretty massive. Seems like it would not happen unless they felt their currency was threatened by digital currencies. Then they might move faster.

If they did do this tomorrow, it would instantly become the top market cap cryptocurrency in the world.

The hardest part about cryptocurrency is that the coin is only as good as the community around it including the holders. Fair distribution is the one feature that has been thus far unachievable and it would really require usage of a mandated government ID database. That would be the US Gov coin advantage beyond branding and enforcement weapons.
