Amplify Launches Two ETFs Focused on Stablecoins and Tokenization

Amplify ETFs, a fund provider managing more than $16 billion in assets, has introduced two new exchange-traded funds designed to give investors targeted exposure to the companies and cryptocurrencies powering stablecoins and tokenized assets.

STBQ Offers Exposure to Stablecoin and Payments Ecosystems

The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) provides access to payments companies, crypto infrastructure providers, and platforms that enable stablecoin-based trading. The fund tracks the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index, which includes a mix of equities and crypto assets such as DeFi protocols and tokens closely tied to stablecoin activity.

Portfolio Includes Major Spot Crypto ETFs

According to Amplify, STBQ currently holds 24 positions, with its largest allocations coming from spot crypto ETFs that provide exposure to XRP, Solana, Ethereum, and Chainlink.

TKNQ Targets the Tokenization of Real-World Assets

The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) is built around companies that enable the digitization of real-world assets. It tracks the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index, which captures businesses and technologies supporting tokenization across financial markets.

Broader Holdings Across Crypto and Equities

TKNQ currently includes 53 holdings, with its largest positions also consisting of ETFs linked to spot cryptocurrency prices, alongside several publicly traded equities involved in tokenization-related infrastructure.

Fees, Listings, and Regulatory Tailwinds

Both STBQ and TKNQ carry a total expense ratio of 69 basis points and are now trading on NYSE Arca.

Regulatory Changes Support the Launch Timing

The introduction of the ETFs aligns with recent regulatory developments in the United States. The GENIUS Act, signed into law in July, established a federal framework for stablecoins and clarified compliance and audit requirements, enabling institutions to settle tokenized assets using stablecoins.
