But why do that though?

If the currency is going to be centrally issued then what reason is there to use a DLT given all of the drawbacks it would introduce?

DLTs aren’t a solution to a technical problem, they’re a technical solution to a trust problem that comes with some pretty hefty implementation baggage and performance constraints.

If you have to trust a single issuer anyway (as would be the case with a CBDC) then the core reason for using a DLT doesn’t exist.
