US banks quietly opening the Bitcoin door.
60% of the top 25 US banks are now ready to integrate $BTC services, according to River — and the tone has clearly shifted.
This wasn’t some random stat lost in a report. It was echoed publicly by Brian Armstrong, who came back from Davos with a clear message: bank CEOs are no longer laughing at crypto. Many of them see digital assets as a top priority.
That’s a big psychological flip. For years, banks played defense — compliance, fear, hesitation. Now? Some are still frozen, yes. But others are actively building rails, custody, on-ramps. They don’t want to miss the train this time.
What I feel here is less hype, more inevitability. Banks move slowly, but when consensus forms at the top, execution follows. Especially when $BTC keeps surviving every obituary written for it.
This isn’t about banks becoming cool. It’s about them staying relevant. Crypto didn’t knock on the door — it waited. And now the door is opening, doucement mais sûrement.
