We all know how risky bitcoin is. Let's imagine the most riskiest money deposit situation.
What do you think guys, will this moment ever come and banks decide to offer us Bitcoin deposits (e.g. fixed profit on 1 year deposit and etc).
This can be very, very profitable for banks if they make correct decisions.
P.S I don't mean freebitco.in's offer of holds on their wallet. I mean if official banks ever offer us this service.

Cryptocurrencies are more like Securities or Commodities so their value fluctuates following demand and supply.
My answer is banks will not offer BTC deposits. It would be quite enough for me if stock markets offer cryptocurrency trading.
Banks though can offer a deposit box where you can store your private key on an envelope or nano ledger s

It will be more popular and interesting to put bitcoin as commodity and can be traded in commodity trading like stock trading. Bank will be more suitable to offer service to bitcoin holders for saving/storing theirs key number of their wallet for security reason. In addition, bank also can take function to transfer bitcoin from someone to another via banking channel to improve services to bank customers.
