Amplify ETFs, the asset manager overseeing more than $16 billion, has launched two sector-specific funds that give investors a direct, tradable way to play two fast-growing corners of crypto: stablecoins and tokenization. Both ETFs began trading on NYSE Arca this week and carry a 69-basis-point expense ratio (0.69%).
What’s being offered
- Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (ticker: STBQ): Designed to capture companies and crypto infrastructure that support stablecoin payments and stablecoin-driven trading. The fund follows the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index, which mixes equities with crypto-native exposures such as DeFi protocols and stablecoin-adjacent tokens. Amplify lists 24 holdings in STBQ; its largest positions are spot crypto ETFs that provide exposure to XRP, SOL, ETH and LINK.
- Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (ticker: TKNQ): Targets firms building the rails for tokenizing real-world assets and tracks the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index. TKNQ holds 53 positions, with its largest allocations also appearing in spot crypto ETFs alongside several traditional equities.
Why the timing matters
The launches arrive as U.S. regulatory changes are reshaping the landscape. The GENIUS Act, signed in July, established a federal framework for stablecoins and clarified compliance and audit standards — moves that also make it easier for institutions to use stablecoins to settle tokenized assets. That legal certainty could accelerate institutional adoption of the very technologies these ETFs aim to capture.
Bottom line
These two ETFs package targeted exposure to the ecosystems powering stablecoins and tokenization into a familiar, exchange-traded vehicle. For investors seeking sector-focused crypto exposure without holding wallets or smart contracts directly, Amplify’s new funds offer a straightforward option—backed by themes that are gaining momentum amid evolving regulation.
