Dollar is already "digital", and has been for the last 50 years or so.
It's just buzzwordy bullshit. The European system is just a classic credit/debit system. The Chinese system is a bit more sophisticated, with offline capability and smart contracts.

But it doesn't use any distributed proof-of-work/stake stuff.
