Amplify ETFs, which manages assets exceeding $16 billion, has launched two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that provide investors with direct and focused exposure to the stablecoin sector and asset tokenization technologies.
🔹 Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ)
Targets companies and protocols associated with stablecoin technologies, including:
Payment companies
Digital asset infrastructure providers
Stablecoin-based trading platforms
The fund tracks the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index and currently includes 24 assets, the largest of which are instant crypto funds that provide direct exposure to currencies such as XRP, SOL, ETH, and LINK, in addition to DeFi protocols and tokens tied to stablecoins.
🔹 Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ)
Focuses on companies enabling the digitization of real assets (such as stocks, real estate, and bonds) and tracks the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index.
The fund includes 53 assets, comprising instant crypto funds and shares of companies engaged in tokenization and advanced financial technologies.
📊 Costs and trading
Annual expense ratio: 0.69% for both funds
The two funds are currently trading on the NYSE Arca exchange
⚖️ Strategic timing The launch of the two funds coincides with important regulatory developments, most notably the U.S. GENIUS Act signed in July, which established a clear federal framework for stablecoins and opened the door for financial institutions to settle tokenized assets using stablecoins, after clarifying compliance and auditing requirements.
📌 Summary:
This step reflects the transition of stablecoins and tokenization from a trial phase to an organized institutional adoption phase, confirming that Wall Street now sees these technologies as the infrastructure for the next generation of financial markets.
