Former BNY and PwC blockchain leader appointed to advance fund tokenization and STOKR's U.S. institutional expansion
LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--STOKR has appointed Subhankar Sinha as Senior Advisor. Sinha will work directly with STOKR's leadership team on fund tokenization with particular focus on money market fund (MMF) tokenization and on expanding STOKR's institutional presence in the U.S. market.
A New York-based digital assets executive, Sinha brings deep expertise across blockchain infrastructure, capital markets, and institutional business development. He previously served as Head of Blockchain at BNY, the world's largest custody and asset servicing business. Earlier in his career, he was a Director at PwC, where he co-founded and co-led the firm's blockchain consulting practice in the U.S.
"Subhankar brings the institutional depth that this stage of STOKR's growth demands," said Arnab Naskar, Co-Founder of STOKR. "His experience leading blockchain at BNY and co-building PwC's U.S. blockchain practice, combined with his advisory track record across tokenization platforms, stablecoin issuers, and wealth management firms makes him uniquely positioned to advance our institutional business line. He will be instrumental in scaling our institutional fund tokenization capabilities, including money market funds, and in building STOKR's position in the U.S. market. We are glad to have him on board."
Sinha is passionate about expanding access to assets and investment strategies and has built his career around transforming innovative concepts into scalable businesses. Over the course of his career, he has worked with both startups and established corporations across sectors including banking, asset and wealth management, entertainment, energy, and transportation.
In recent years, Sinha has advised stablecoin companies, tokenization platforms, blockchain networks, and wealth management firms on growth strategy, partnerships, and market development. His track record includes negotiating strategic partnerships, driving revenue expansion, and guiding digital transformation initiatives across both emerging and established market participants.
"Over the past eight years, STOKR has built a proven, regulated infrastructure for digital securities issuance in the Bitcoin ecosystem — connecting issuers, investors, and intermediaries around differentiated investment mandates," said Sinha. "I look forward to supporting the company's expansion into fund tokenization and its continued development across Bitcoin mining and energy infrastructure, Bitcoin treasury companies, and Bitcoin-related structured products."
