Amplify ETFs Expands Crypto ETF Lineup With Stablecoin and Tokenization Funds

Amplify ETFs announced on Tuesday that it has launched two new exchange-traded funds designed to give investors focused exposure to core pillars of digital finance infrastructure: the Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) and the Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ).

In a press release shared with CryptoNews, the firm claims these latest launches position Amplify as a first mover in both the stablecoin and tokenization ETF categories, as adoption of blockchain-based financial infrastructure speeds up.

STBQ Targets the Expanding Stablecoin Economy

The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF is designed to provide targeted exposure to equities and digital assets that underpin the stablecoin ecosystem.

Stablecoins—digital assets engineered to maintain price stability relative to fiat currencies—now facilitate more than $9 trillion in annual transaction volume, according to industry estimates.

Analysts project the market could expand from roughly $300 billion today to more than $3.7 trillion by 2030 as use cases broaden across payments, trading, and settlement.

STBQ focuses on companies and crypto-linked assets generating meaningful revenue from payments technology, digital asset infrastructure, and trading platforms.

The fund seeks investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index (MVSTBQ).

At each rebalance, between 25% and 50% of the portfolio may be allocated to crypto assets tied to stablecoin and decentralized finance use cases.

TKNQ Targets the Tokenization of Real-World Assets

The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF targets companies and digital assets driving the tokenization of real-world assets. Tokenization allows assets such as equities, bonds, and real estate to be represented as blockchain-based tokens, allowing for fractional ownership, faster settlement, and improved transparency.

Analysts estimate that tokenized assets could grow from approximately $176 billion today to more than $3.6 trillion by 2030, driven by increasing institutional adoption and regulatory progress.

TKNQ invests across tokenization platforms, blockchain infrastructure providers, exchanges, custodians, brokerages, and financial institutions, advancing real-world asset digitization.

The fund seeks to track the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index (MVTKNQ), with 25% to 50% exposure to qualifying crypto-related assets at the time of rebalance.

Regulation and Institutional Momentum Shape the Backdrop

The launch of STBQ and TKNQ comes during growing regulatory clarity for digital finance infrastructure. In the United States and Europe, evolving frameworks are increasingly positioning stablecoins and tokenization as compliant components of modern financial systems.

This shift has encouraged deeper institutional participation, particularly in payments, settlement, and capital markets infrastructure, said the firm.

Exec Perspective and Broader ETF Strategy

“Amplify has been committed to digital finance innovation for over eight years,” said Christian Magoon, chief executive officer of Amplify ETFs.

“Stablecoins and tokenization are becoming important components of modern financial infrastructure, and with STBQ and TKNQ, we’re continuing our work to deliver ETF solutions that help investors access these advancing areas of the market,” Magoon added.

Amplify Launches XRP-Based Option Income ETF

In November, Amplify ETFs introduced the first XRP-based option income exchange-traded fund, the Amplify XRP 3% Monthly Premium Income ETF (XRPM).

The new fund expands Amplify’s YieldSmart family—an options-focused ETF lineup designed to balance income generation with capital appreciation. XRPM offers exposure to XRP’s price dynamics while pursuing high, recurring income through an actively managed covered call strategy.
