The Federal Reserve may be forced to factor Bitcoin into bank stress tests — not as an endorsement, but as a risk reality.
As banks increase exposure to Bitcoin through custody, ETFs, derivatives, and trading services, ignoring BTC price shocks could weaken the credibility of stress testing. This isn’t ideology, it’s risk modeling.
If included, Bitcoin would likely enter as a market shock variable, bringing stricter controls, better governance, and standardized crypto risk assessment across banks.
Bitcoin wouldn’t be recognized as policy — it would be recognized as too big to ignore.
