GNU Taler seems to be a good thing to look into. Not a crypto currency but a payment system which preserves anonymity of the buyer.

Yay GNU Taler is very promising, but I fear banks prefer proprietary systems.

It may become widely used if there's strong customer demand for GNU Taler, or regulation requiring an open electronic wallet. Most banks would probably be dragging their feet.

It has been a while since this appeared; I wonder if it picks up steam. Now or never?

Imagine a future where Taler Systems SA becomes a financial powerhouse, holding a significant percentage of Euros to issue as tokens! Swiss bank accounts 2.0, giving Tether and USDC a run for their money.
