Such restrictions would have no bearing as to if they should be separate or not. It has nothing to do with GnuCash or even accounting.

If the respective governments simply treat them as equivalent to paper, coins, or other current digital blips, then they likely will not get separate currency codes.

Since separate currency codes would be quite messy for the ISO group responsible, and thus for implementing CBDCs at all, I highly doubt they will be treated separately by authorities.

However, none of that is of concern to GnuCash. Your question depends on what various governments end up doing in the future. Until they implement, there is little point in speculating, and zero point in altering code, or even thinking about it as there is no 'target'.

All the more reason that I don’t like them.

However, that gives a greater need to be able to consider them as separate
assets, so I feel GnuCash should allow people to add other currencies, and
not restrict currencies to those defined in an ISO standard.
