You don't disrupt your own monopoly and blow up the one simple trick that gives you ultimate power (money printer). I'd put those odds at > 0%.

If they had discovered digital scarcity first; I assume they would generate a project like Ethereum. At first make it POW and then allow idiotic centralized code changes like POS, compromise the project and then blow it up.

Oh, and here is our new CBDC now with bLoCkChAiN!!!"
