The Swiss National Bank has launched a program to digitally transform the Swiss Franc into Cryptocurrency.
Five banks are participating in the experiment, including UBS (Credit Suisse went bankrupt, as we know).

Many countries want and plan to build their Central Bank Digital Currencies CBDCs. Swiss is only one of those countries, not the only country.

With the first website, you can use their table and sort countries by Announcement Year column.
And like that link says, they are all either pilots or proofs of concepts. There are several different pilots launched all the time in the world, on several areas of economy. Most of them won't ever go pass the pilot stage. It could still take some time for right tech to emerge.

Oh yeah, there's one launched in Nigeria, but i don't have high hopes for that system to get adopted widely.

Also, digital fiat isn't necessarily cryptocurrency. In fact far from it. Likely it will be a travesty.
