Is there any bank/financial institution somewhere in the world that has embraced Bitcoin? Not that I'd deposit my money there, I'm just curious to know it.

Why would they? The banks collectively are embracing SegWit as a way to destroy bitcoin, but that's about it.

Banks are under the government, and banks will comply with all government regulations and requests. You know the government is very anti against bitcoin. So practically no bank will adopt bitcoin

I think you are wrong because there are some country which is bitcoin is fully adopted and their government supports this digital currency like china and japan. I think in the near future bitcoin would be more popular in all country in this world and they will adopt it as their second currency.

to me i although some countries are already thinking about bitcoin to consider it as legal currency but currency not a single country has fully adopt it as their national currency, may be in future they can adopt bitcoin as legal currency, but still not a single country has consider it as legal currency.

Japan is one of the country that accepted bitcoin as a legal currency because they see future and pure potential with bitcoin and now they are accepting on their stores in different part of their country. Soon, more and more countries will do the same and it will become a huge move for bitcoin for being legal currency in most of the countries.

Yes, Japan took bitcoin. But there are established high requirements for companies that decided to use bitcoins. Very high price to buy a license. I think that only banks can afford to buy such a license
