From Alexander Hamilton to crypto: Market review from the CEO of America's oldest bank

Not many banks can say they are America’s oldest bank. In fact the only one who could lay claim to that title is BNY, founded 240 years ago by Alexander Hamilton. BNY has gone from its storied lineage tied to Hamilton and banking titans in the Mellon family, to a financial institution that oversees $50 trillion in assets. The company is a powerhouse in the business of wealth management, and is the country’s largest custodian. Interestingly, it still doesn’t operate a retail bank – hence making it lesser known than JP Morgan, Citi and Bank of America. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down for a chat with BNY CEO Robin Vince. Besides sharing a history listen on the storied bank, the British-born Vince reveals his biggest financial system concern and the impact to stocks as the Federal Reserve prepares to embark on interest rate cuts. As icing on the cake, Vince shares his thoughts on the impact of new artificial intelligence on the banking system and crypto – and likely your life.

Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid, brings you a high-octane take on the freshest analyst calls, wildest stock moves and shrewdest commentary in the business world. Executive Editor Brian Sozzi puts Wall Street's finest through their paces in this essential conversation for every investor - before the stock market opens.
