Digital asset manager Amplify has rolled out two new exchange-traded funds focused on blockchain activity tied to stablecoins and tokenization. The firm announced on Tuesday that the Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) and the Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) have begun trading on the NYSE Arca exchange.

Both ETFs are designed to track diversified indexes composed of companies building products, platforms or infrastructure linked to stablecoins and tokenized assets, as well as firms generating revenue from these segments of digital finance.

“These new ETFs expand Amplify’s lineup at a time when the infrastructure behind stablecoins and the growth of tokenization are shaping the next phase of digital finance,” the company said.

Stablecoins and regulation drive institutional interest

Stablecoins and tokenization have emerged as two of the most prominent crypto themes this year, supported by clearer regulatory signals. In the United States, new legislation has increased institutional confidence around launching stablecoin-related products, while regulators have also begun engaging more actively on how to classify and oversee tokenized assets, including tokenized equities.

Amplify explained that its stablecoin-focused ETF targets companies “generating significant revenue from payments technology, digital asset infrastructure, and trading platforms.” The fund includes exposure to firms involved in stablecoin activity such as Visa, Circle, Mastercard and PayPal, alongside crypto-related ETFs issued by providers including Grayscale, iShares and Bitwise.

The company also highlighted regulatory momentum on both sides of the Atlantic, stating that the “GENIUS Act in the US and MiCA in Europe are positioning stablecoins as the compliant backbone of digital finance.”

Tokenization gains traction among financial giants

The tokenization-focused ETF provides exposure to major financial and market infrastructure players that have been actively developing tokenization initiatives. Its holdings include companies such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, Figure Technology Solution, Citigroup and Nasdaq, all of which have pursued tokenization projects aimed at digitizing traditional financial services.

The launch comes amid a broader surge in cryptocurrency- and blockchain-related ETFs during 2025, following a relaxation of approval requirements by the US Securities and Exchange Commission under chair Paul Atkins.
