More like these countries wanted to push their digital currencies since crypto currencies like bitcoin are getting the limelight they needed. While people are still fine using online wallets like Paypal as a payment method, I don't think they have that kind of idea to ride with the government pushing their digital currencies. I mean they can just use these online wallets with no problem.
This will take some time and for sure, there will be a lot of debate between government officials about this. They said that the current government is not against crypto currencies but what about these digital currencies?
