Also insurance has the kind of risk pooling and (conceptually) long investment horizons that really tempt people into doing really dumb things

This is why retail CBDCs generally consider they can bear operating costs from earnings of reinvesting reserves but have some (lower) merchant transaction fees to remunerate acquiring PSPs for their investment costs

As you said, this requires some minimum holding and positive interest rates to work

Shared some thoughts on the prior version here.
Precious « full backing by CBs unremunerated CB reserve » is china approach to systemic emoney issuers (Alipay and WeChat pay).
HOWEVER this work because WeChat pay and Alipay charge merchants +-0.6% on transaction fees.
BoE position comes from a strict application of the PFMIs
If you look closely they speak of systemic stablecoin for payment systems

Principle 9 of the PFMIs recommends settlement in central bank money and if not possible, second best is money backed by central bank money
