Amplify ETFs has launched two new exchange-traded funds focused on stablecoin and tokenization technologies under the tickers STBQ and TKNQ. These ETFs aim to provide targeted exposure to companies and crypto assets shaping core infrastructure in digital finance. The launch expands Amplify’s crypto-focused ETF lineup as investor interest in blockchain-related segments continues to grow.

STBQ Targets Stablecoin Infrastructure and Related Assets

The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) is designed to track firms and digital assets tied to the stablecoin ecosystem. It follows the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index (MVSTBQ) and includes both equities and crypto assets. STBQ allocates 25% to 50% of its holdings to crypto assets at the time of rebalance.

STBQ focuses on revenue-generating entities involved in payment systems, asset trading, and digital infrastructure supporting stablecoin use cases. Amplify cited stablecoin transaction volumes exceeding $9 trillion annually and projected market growth to $3.7 trillion by 2030. Regulatory initiatives such as the U.S. GENIUS Act and Europe’s MiCA framework support institutional expansion.

The fund aims to give investors access to technologies that underpin global stablecoin adoption. Amplify stated the ETF is positioned for exposure to regulated stablecoin markets. “Stablecoins are becoming a compliant backbone of digital finance,” said Amplify CEO Christian Magoon in a statement.

TKNQ Focuses on Tokenization of Real-World Assets

The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) invests in companies and crypto assets building tokenization solutions across global markets. TKNQ tracks the MarketVector™ Tokenization Technology Index (MVTKNQ) and includes assets that meet investability and liquidity standards. This ETF targets 25% to 50% crypto exposure, depending on index rebalance timing.

TKNQ includes blockchain infrastructure providers, exchanges, tokenization platforms, brokerages, and custodians supporting real-world asset digitization. Tokenization converts traditional assets like real estate or bonds into blockchain-based tokens for more transparent and fractional ownership. Analysts project tokenized asset value could reach $3.6 trillion by 2030 from $176 billion today.

Amplify stated that TKNQ focuses on firms with meaningful revenue from tokenization or innovation in digital asset infrastructure. The fund seeks to track advancements in settlement speed, transparency, and asset accessibility. “Tokenization is transforming access to traditionally less liquid markets,” said Magoon during the ETF launch announcement.

Amplify Builds on Crypto Strategy With New Thematic Offerings

With STBQ and TKNQ, Amplify strengthens its position in blockchain and crypto-linked investment products. Both ETFs aim to deliver benchmark-correlated returns before fees and expenses. The firm described the new funds as tools for investors to access blockchain infrastructure through transparent and regulated investment vehicles.

Amplify has offered digital finance solutions for more than eight years and continues to expand its thematic ETF offerings. The company emphasized ongoing demand for exposure to emerging blockchain applications. These ETFs represent Amplify’s response to evolving financial technologies and growing investor demand for targeted crypto exposure.
