OIDC is just starting to get some traction in instutions, but it's really about federated authentication with trust of the IDP implied. Digital identity itself is still in the context of the given IDP you've federated to, and there isn't much better than whatever their enrolment process is.

There are a couple of companies that are using hyper ledger to federate identity providers like banks, governments, and other institutions, but the scope of that identity is still local to the federation participants who are a walled garden of their own.
