Amplify ETFs Launches Dual-Track Strategy for Stablecoin and Tokenization Markets

Amplify ETFs, a major asset manager overseeing over $16 billion in assets, has unveiled two specialized investment vehicles designed to capture growth opportunities in the rapidly evolving stablecoin and tokenized asset sectors. The strategic launch of these funds reflects broader confidence in digital asset infrastructure and comes as regulatory frameworks become increasingly favorable for institutional participation.

Two Specialized Funds Address Different Market Opportunities

The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) targets companies and crypto protocols powering the stablecoin ecosystem. This fund provides investors with exposure to payments infrastructure providers, cryptocurrency platforms, and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols essential to stablecoin functionality. STBQ tracks the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index and currently maintains 24 holdings, with significant allocations to spot crypto ETFs offering exposure to XRP, SOL, ETH, and LINK.

The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) pursues a complementary objective, focusing on businesses enabling the digitization of real-world assets through blockchain technology. With 53 holdings, TKNQ follows the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index and similarly includes major cryptocurrency spot ETFs alongside equities positioned to benefit from widespread asset tokenization.

Strategic Fund Construction Leverages Proven Indexes

Both Amplify-branded funds carry a 69 basis point total expense ratio, making them competitively priced within the specialized ETF landscape. The funds commenced trading on NYSE Arca, providing investors with easy access through standard brokerage platforms. By anchoring their strategies to MarketVector indexes, the Amplify offerings provide systematically constructed exposure rather than actively managed discretion, allowing investors to gain exposure through transparent, rules-based methodologies.

Regulatory Tailwinds Support Market Expansion

The timing of Amplify’s dual-fund launch coincides with significant regulatory developments that could reshape the digital asset investment landscape. The U.S. GENIUS Act, signed into law in July 2025, established a federal framework for stablecoin issuance and operations while creating pathways for institutions to settle tokenized assets using stablecoins. By clarifying compliance requirements and audit standards, this legislation effectively removed barriers that previously hindered institutional adoption.

These regulatory shifts suggest that Amplify’s strategic timing reflects confidence in sustained demand for structured exposure to both stablecoin infrastructure and real-world asset tokenization—two sectors positioned to benefit materially from clearer institutional guidelines and expanded use cases.
