Amplify ETFs Launches Innovative ETFs: STBQ and TKNQ
On December 23, 2025, Amplify ETFs, a recognized leader in the crypto ETF sector, unveiled its groundbreaking financial products: the Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) and the Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ). These new offerings are strategically introduced as the financial landscape evolves, aimed at providing investors targeted exposure to the burgeoning fields of stablecoins and tokenization.
The Rise of Stablecoins and STBQ
The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) is engineered to deliver specific exposure to innovative equities and digital assets that drive the stablecoin ecosystem. With more than $9 trillion in annual transaction volume, stablecoins—designed to maintain price stability in relation to fiat currencies—are rapidly gaining traction globally. Analysts predict that this market is set to grow from approximately $300 billion today to over $3.7 trillion by 2030.
As regulatory frameworks like the GENIUS Act in the U.S. and MiCA in Europe establish compliance standards, STBQ is positioned to capture revenue from companies involved in payments technology, digital asset infrastructure, and trading platforms. Specifically, STBQ aims to correlate its performance to the MarketVector™ Stablecoin Technology Index (MVSTBQ), including 25-50% of its investments in crypto assets relevant to stablecoin and DeFi applications at rebalance.
Tokenization and the TKNQ ETF
The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) targets firms and crypto assets that generate significant revenues from the tokenization of real-world assets. Tokenization refers to the transformation of physical assets, such as real estate, equities, and bonds, into digital tokens on a blockchain, providing transparency, access to fractional investments, and faster settlements.
Experts forecast the tokenized asset market will expand from $176 billion to over $3.6 trillion by 2030, as institutional adoption and regulatory improvements advance. TKNQ will focus on companies and digital assets that are pivotal in the tokenization sector, including tokenization platforms and blockchain infrastructure providers. TKNQ seeks to correlate its returns with the MarketVector™ Tokenization Technology Index (MVTKNQ), featuring 25-50% investments in crypto-related assets that meet established market criteria at each rebalancing.

Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs, states, “Amplify has been committed to digital finance innovation for over eight years. We recognized the potential of blockchain-related technologies early on, and our experience guides our strategies as these developments unfold. With STBQ and TKNQ, we aim to provide ETF solutions that enhance investor access to these rapidly evolving market segments.”

Investment Considerations
Investors should carefully evaluate the Funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses prior to investing. Investment in the Funds involves risks, including potential loss of principal. While the Funds aim to deliver results reflecting those of their underlying indices, it should be noted that digital assets, including stablecoins and tokenization technologies, are associated with heightened volatility.
