> Do you really think the negotiations to found such a bank wouldn't be news?
CBDCs aren't really in the news either. So yeah. It's not like reporting about rather complicated foreign financial affairs that's detrimental to US hegemony is well funded or that there's a big audience to be reached.
I've read about CBDCs severeal times, and a single search found several reports now. The article posits that many governments negotiated about large amounts of gold without any news coverage at all.
You don't really believe that those countries would negotiate about who should contribute the gold for backing, and all of them would do it completely in secret.
