Actually i would imagine that banks could have such a trusted position. They haven't done anything in the space but I am sure they will at some time.

The problem isn't them holding the key but once it is in the hands of a third party it could easily be gotten to by the government (through a court order or under the US Patriot Act).

There are IMO many (and better) schemes when you want your private keys
to be known by a TTP. Including PKI.
