ECB flags AI, stablecoins and cyber-risk in its annual supervisory review
The European Central Bank (ECB) has highlighted growing vulnerabilities tied to artificial intelligence, stablecoins and cybersecurity in its 2025 supervisory review (SREP). While major euro-area banks remain well capitalised (average of 16.1% vs minimum 11.2%), the regulator warned that elevated valuations in AI stocks and concentrated exposures to tech and cyber incidents could heighten risk. 
The ECB said it will conduct targeted risk tests in 2026 to assess how these non-traditional exposures may affect banking solvency and funding in stressed scenarios.
