Amplify ETFs has launched two themed funds—Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) and Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ)—to give investors focused exposure to companies and crypto-linked products driving tokenization and stablecoin adoption. The firm said both funds are now trading on NYSE Arca and are “first movers” in their categories, targeting the infrastructure behind real-world asset markets and digital payments.
In its announcement, Amplify ETFs announce launch, explaining that TKNQ tracks the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index (MVTKNQ), while STBQ tracks the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index (MVSTBQ). Both strategies can hold a mix of equities and crypto-related ETPs that meet size and liquidity screens, aiming to mirror how tokenization and stablecoins now span banks, payment firms, exchanges, and blockchain infrastructure.
A separate company post detail methodology, noting that tokens and related assets are included via index rules rather than direct coin purchases. The approach seeks to balance exposure to on-chain activity with the oversight of listed securities. Amplify adds that growing regulation—such as Europe’s MiCA—and rising volumes make these rails more relevant for institutional investors who need transparent custody and reporting.
Trade media also report debut, highlighting that both ETFs went live on NYSE Arca and that the tokenization sleeve includes firms linked to on-chain capital markets and banking platforms building wallet-ready products. The stablecoin sleeve focuses on payments networks, infrastructure providers and platforms tied to stable-value settlement—now used for round-the-clock treasury moves and cross-border transfers.
“Stablecoins and tokenization are becoming important components of modern financial infrastructure,” said Christian Magoon, Chief Executive Officer of Amplify ETFs. “With STBQ and TKNQ, we’re continuing our work to deliver ETF solutions that help investors access these advancing areas of the market.” The launch positions Amplify—already active in crypto-linked strategies—to capture demand for regulated exposure to the rails that power digital assets.
Why this matters for real estate tokenization: tokenized property, credit, and fund interests increasingly sit on public chains and need liquid, compliant plumbing to scale. By indexing the companies and ETPs building those rails, TKNQ offers a thematic route to the broader tokenization economy, while STBQ targets the stablecoin infrastructure that can move rent flows, escrow, and distributions 24/7. If assets migrate on-chain in 2026, these funds could become simple tools for mainstream portfolios to track the shift.
