The currency was to become its own bank / control its funds

Does "to become its own bank" means that the currency would be traded in an independent bank? I also can't understand how a currency can "control" its own funds...

In 1990, David Chaum created Digicash. What's more, by definition, the currency was to become its own bank and control its funds without supervision from third parties. In 1998, Chinese engineer Wei Dai created B-Money. A year later, Nick Szabo created BitGold. In this example we find similarities to the contemporary BlockChain, a publicly available database used to record individual transactions.
