Here's what I'm most interested in here: right now, if I'm using an alternative mobile OS (besides iOS or Android), it's basically impossible for me to implement digital payments through existing payment networks. On the other hand, because cryptocurrencies are FOSS and very well-standardized, it's very possible to implement a cryptocurrency wallet.

If central-bank digital currencies are closer to cryptocurrencies in this regard, and the protocol is standardized enough that mobile Linux OSes can have wallets... that'll be very much appreciated. I'd love to have mobile payments but not depend on Apple or Google.
