Banks use tools as a store of value by holding some assets in reserves, for various economic benefits. Although, adopting Bitcoin in such capacity, would have it's pros and cons.  Obviously like controlling inflationary trends, and even help stabilize the volatility of Bitcoin to  its users, and conversely such volatility could also alter the stability of a banks statement of financial position. All these could add up to a more stable global economy. Surely banks have started to think of such prospect
What bank does is that they look for a responsible way that will lead them into success and anything that will give them profit in banking system they always make sure that they achieve it, why Banks currently is investing in Bitcoin, is because they want what that will give them profit and they want something that will multiply what they really have so it is the essence of bank going into gold investment and also in cryptocurrency investment especially Bitcoin investment recently
It's obvious that the crypto sector is one place that is attracting alot of attention especially from financial institutions because it's one place that has proven to be a good prospect for a business especially when it comes to investments, and that is one key areas that banks too has interest in so it will be a good one for us to see financial institutions like banks investing in Bitcoin but the problem has been that alot of financial institutions is afraid that Bitcoin is a threat to the stability of the banking sector.
