BNY's Revolutionary Legacy in Changing Financial Markets

Brooke McManus, BNY’s archivist, and Jordan Romanoff, senior managing counsel, go Inside the ICE House to explore how the firm’s Revolutionary-era founding still shapes its role in global finance today. They explain how BNY helped stabilize early American markets and build trust during times of crisis. The conversation connects those origins to BNY’s modern role powering global markets through custody, payments, and infrastructure. They also highlight how AI, blockchain, and digital assets are extending that legacy through greater efficiency, transparency, and connectivity.
