Amplify launches its stablecoin ETFs and tokenization with a 69 basis point position

The investment landscape in crypto assets has just expanded with the launch of two new products from Amplify ETFs, an asset manager overseeing more than $16 billion. These funds provide direct access to two of the most dynamic segments of the crypto ecosystem: stablecoin infrastructure and asset tokenization. With an expense ratio of 69 basis points, both ETFs are already trading on NYSE Arca.

STBQ: Exposure to Stablecoin Infrastructure in a Competitive Position

The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) specifically targets companies that facilitate the stablecoin ecosystem. Its portfolio includes providers of crypto infrastructure, payment platforms, and companies enabling stablecoin-based commerce.

The fund tracks the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology index, which includes both traditional stocks and relevant crypto assets. Among its 24 top holdings are ETFs offering direct exposure to assets such as XRP, SOL, ETH, and LINK, reflecting the growing convergence between traditional finance and cryptocurrency. The 69 basis points expense ratio positions it competitively within the specialized ETF market.

TKNQ: Asset Tokenization of Real Assets as a New Investment Horizon

Meanwhile, the Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) focuses its strategy on companies leading the digitization of real-world assets. This ETF replicates the MarketVector Tokenization Technology index and currently holds 53 positions in its portfolio.

Like STBQ, TKNQ also includes ETFs tracking the spot prices of major cryptocurrencies, complemented by stocks of traditional companies focused on blockchain infrastructure and tokenization. The 69 basis points expense ratio, identical to its counterpart, keeps both funds within an accessible cost scale for institutional and retail investors.

A Strategic Position in the Context of Crypto Regulation

The timing of these ETF launches coincides with a significant regulatory shift in the United States. The approval of the GENIUS Act in July 2025 established a clear federal framework for stablecoins and facilitated the settlement of tokenized assets using these stablecoins, by clarifying compliance and audit requirements.

This more favorable regulatory environment makes these ETFs an attractive position for investors seeking exposure to sectors that combine technological growth with legal security. The availability of index-tracking ETFs that follow specific MarketVector indices allows market participants to access these emerging segments without the need to directly hold and manage the underlying crypto assets, an important consideration for institutional portfolios requiring established custodial solutions.
