The scenario implies Bitcoin will be ousted from all markets as soon as Federal Reserve-backed cryptocurrency “Fedcoin” is created in the US as the currency supported by the US Central Bank will make the blockchain net more efficient and convenient.

This is the most possible scenario as many organizations are already developing their own cryptocurrencies.
