IMF stress test: AI, bond and recession shock would hit 22% of global bank assets

  • —110 banks with 22% of global assets vs 88 banks and 18% a year earlier
  • —Scenario combines an AI selloff, a bond yield spike and a global slowdown
  • —Resilience threshold is a core capital ratio above 7%
  • —Crypto is not in the test but is exposed via liquidity and equity correlation
Why it matters: The IMF test shows an AI-driven correction could hit crypto indirectly through tighter liquidity and higher rates rather than a direct shock.
