ECB Flags AI, Geopolitical, and Stablecoin Risks in Bank Supervision

ECB Flags AI, Geopolitical, and Stablecoin Risks in Bank Supervision
The ECB’s 2025 supervisory review highlighted emerging risks from AI exposure, cyber-threats and stablecoins, even as euro-area banks maintain strong capital buffers. The regulator pointed to rapidly growing AI concentration and rising cyber-incidents as potential systemic stress points. It also warned that stablecoins could pose a “shock” to traditional monetary transmission if not regulated preemptively. 
Targeted bank stress tests are scheduled for 2026 to assess resilience under these non-traditional risk scenarios.
