but it will be something other than bitcoin and something that a governing body would launch.

They have launched it already and it is also called fiat. I am referring to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). It has not better usage than fiat and countries that are creating it said they are created with blockchain technology but that they are not cryptocurrencies but fiat. No better usage than fiat.

It's fiat with more levers to control it.

It's also just a fancy name for it for people to get interested and invested into it time and effort-wise.

This is true and well said. Depending on how it works from the client side, it might indirectly help adoption when people eventually question the economics of CBDC blockchain versus Bitcoin. If it's not obvious they are using CBDC it might not as much, though people who are curious will inadvertently understand what they are using (though, how many people know how online banking works...even in 2025, I would guess not the majority of people).
