There are ton of research on privacy-preserving central bank digital currency. Check dusk network's approach for starters
Privacy-preserving CBDC's seem like an interesting concept if implemented by any entity that is not the government. There's too much incentive to restrict privacy from law abiding citizens and it's directly against their interest that CBDC be anything about giving more privacy and control to citizens. I wouldn't trust them.
