Amplify ETFs Debuts New Crypto-Focused Funds Targeting Stablecoins and Tokenization

Amplify ETFs has expanded its digital asset lineup with the launch of two innovative exchange-traded funds: the Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) and the Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ). Announced on Tuesday, these products aim to provide investors with targeted exposure to foundational elements of blockchain-based finance.

The firm positions itself as an early leader in both the stablecoin and tokenization ETF spaces, capitalizing on accelerating institutional adoption of digital infrastructure.

STBQ: Exposure to the Booming Stablecoin Ecosystem

The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF focuses on companies and crypto assets driving the stablecoin economy. Stablecoins—designed to maintain stable value against fiat currencies—now process over $9 trillion in annual transaction volume, according to industry data.

Projections suggest the market could grow from ~$300 billion today to more than $3.7 trillion by 2030, fueled by expanding applications in payments, trading, and cross-border settlement.

STBQ invests in equities and digital assets tied to payments technology, blockchain infrastructure, and major trading platforms. The fund tracks the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index (MVSTBQ), allocating 25–50% to qualifying crypto assets at each rebalance.

TKNQ: Capturing the Tokenization Wave

The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF targets the rapidly emerging market for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. By converting traditional assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate into blockchain tokens, the process enables fractional ownership, instant settlement, and enhanced transparency.

Current tokenized asset value stands at approximately $176 billion, with forecasts pointing to over $3.6 trillion by 2030 as institutional participation and regulatory frameworks mature.

TKNQ includes exposure to tokenization platforms, blockchain providers, exchanges, custodians, brokerages, and financial institutions advancing RWA digitization. It tracks the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index (MVTKNQ), with 25–50% in relevant crypto assets during rebalances.

Regulatory Tailwinds and Institutional Shift

The launches coincide with increasing regulatory clarity in major jurisdictions like the U.S. and Europe, where stablecoins and tokenization are gaining recognition as compliant building blocks for modern finance.

This evolving landscape is driving greater institutional engagement in payments, settlement, and capital markets infrastructure, according to Amplify.

Leadership Perspective

Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs, emphasized the firm’s long-term commitment: “For over eight years, Amplify has pioneered innovation in digital finance. Stablecoins and tokenization are becoming essential components of tomorrow’s financial systems, and STBQ and TKNQ continue our mission to deliver accessible ETF solutions for these transformative themes.”

Building on Recent Momentum

The new funds follow Amplify’s November launch of the Amplify XRP 3% Monthly Premium Income ETF (XRPM)—the first option-income product centered on XRP.

With these additions, Amplify strengthens its position as a go-to provider for thematic crypto exposure, bridging traditional portfolios with emerging blockchain infrastructure.
