The Central Bank isn't regulated, isn't transparent and certainly doesn't have any external auditors either. I don't think you understand how cryptocurrencies, central banks and regulations work. Also, regulations doesn't protect against hacks or theft or shady practices.

Actually, every central bank is audited externally.

The US federal reserve is audited by a private firm hired by the board. They are not audited by a government regulatory body.

Do you have a source for any of this? Because my career as a securities regulation & banking attorney tells me the truth is actually the exact opposite of literally everything you’ve asserted.
