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."

Hopes rose that the Iran war could begin winding down as U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that his government was holding productive talks with Tehran, but fighting showed no signs of slowing and Iran denied there were talks.

Trump extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, saying the U.S. will hold off striking Iranian power plants for five more days to allow U.S. envoys to hold talks with a “respected” Iranian leader.

Iranian officials said that the American leader had backed down “following Iran’s firm warning.”

Relief ripped through financial markets Monday as oil prices eased following severe losses prior to Trump’s announcement. Markets have had vicious swings, both up and down, since the war began because of uncertainty about how long it may last.

The death toll has risen to more than 1,500 people in Iran, more than 1,000 in Lebanon, 15 in Israel and 13 U.S. military members, as well as a number of civilians on land and sea in the Gulf region. Millions of people in Lebanon and Iran have been displaced.

Here is the latest:

An Israeli strike early Tuesday on a residential apartment in Bchamoun, around 10 kilometers (6 miles) southeast of Beirut, killed at least two people, according to an initial toll from the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The strike wounded five others, the ministry added.

The strike came without warning and hit an area outside Beirut’s southern suburbs, where the Israeli military had previously issued evacuation notices.

Footage circulating online showed at least one apartment in a building engulfed in flames.

Also early Tuesday, Israeli strikes hit several areas in southern Lebanon, including a gas station belonging to the Amana company in Rashidieh, near the port city of Tyre, sending a large plume of fire into the air.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Israel has repeatedly struck Amana fuel stations since the conflict with Hezbollah reignited on March 2, accusing them of being part of the group’s “economic infrastructure” that can support its military activities.
