You may need to declare it as a foreign financial asset depending on the total of your foreign financial assets and what type of institution is holding it. Please see the attached for a comparison of the Form 8938 and FBAR requirement. If you scroll down you will see, Types of Foreign Assets and Whether They are Reportable.
