Infrastructure ETFs Enter Crypto Markets
Digital asset manager Amplify ETFs has launched two new exchange-traded funds designed to give investors exposure to the fast-growing infrastructure behind stablecoins and asset tokenization. The funds, which began trading on NYSE Arca, reflect rising institutional confidence in blockchain-based financial systems as regulatory clarity improves across major markets.
The newly launched products are the Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) and the Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ). Rather than holding cryptocurrencies directly, both ETFs track a diversified index of publicly listed companies building the technology, payment rails, and platforms that support stablecoins and tokenized assets.
This blended approach allows traditional investors to gain exposure to crypto innovation through equities, reducing volatility risks typically associated with holding digital tokens directly.
What The New ETFs Track
Amplify said both ETFs are focused on companies generating revenue from stablecoin infrastructure, payments technology, digital asset services, and tokenization platforms. The funds include firms actively involved in blockchain development, settlement systems, custody services, and financial market digitization.
According to the company, these products were launched to meet growing investor demand for regulated investment vehicles tied to real-world blockchain adoption rather than speculative trading.
“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 firm said.
By tracking revenue-generating businesses rather than early-stage projects, Amplify aims to offer investors exposure to blockchain adoption at scale.
Inside The Stablecoin ETF
The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) focuses on companies benefiting from the rapid adoption of stablecoins in payments, trading, and cross-border settlements. Stablecoins have emerged as one of crypto’s most widely used tools, especially among institutions seeking efficiency without price volatility.
STBQ includes exposure to well-known financial and payments firms such as Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Circle, all of which have made significant investments in stablecoin-related technology. The fund also holds positions in crypto-focused ETFs from Grayscale, iShares, and Bitwise, offering indirect exposure to the broader digital asset ecosystem.
Amplify noted that the ETF tracks companies “generating significant revenue from payments technology, digital asset infrastructure, and trading platforms,” highlighting stablecoins’ growing role in mainstream finance.
Tokenization Fund Targets Wall Street
The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) focuses on firms building infrastructure to tokenize real-world assets such as stocks, bonds, and private market instruments. Tokenization is widely viewed as a long-term opportunity for traditional financial institutions to reduce costs, improve liquidity, and automate settlement.
TKNQ includes exposure to major players such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, Citigroup, Nasdaq, and Figure Technology Solutions. These firms have already launched or tested tokenization initiatives across funds, private credit, and capital markets infrastructure.
As financial giants experiment with blockchain-based settlement and custody, tokenization is increasingly seen as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized technology.
Regulation Fuels Institutional Confidence
Amplify pointed to regulatory developments in the United States and Europe as a major driver behind the ETF launches. In the US, the passage of the GENIUS Act has helped define the legal framework for stablecoin issuance and oversight, giving institutions more confidence to enter the market.
In Europe, the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework has established a unified regulatory structure for stablecoins and digital asset service providers across the European Union.
According to Amplify, these frameworks are “positioning stablecoins as the compliant backbone of digital finance,” paving the way for increased institutional participation and product innovation.
Crypto ETFs Surge In 2025
The launch of STBQ and TKNQ comes amid a broader wave of crypto and blockchain ETF approvals in 2025. Under SEC Chair Paul Atkins, the US Securities and Exchange Commission has loosened listing requirements for crypto-related ETFs, allowing asset managers to bring new products to market faster.
As a result, crypto and blockchain ETFs have surged in popularity, offering investors regulated exposure to digital asset themes such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Web3 infrastructure, tokenization, and stablecoins.
Amplify’s latest products signal a shift toward infrastructure-first crypto investing, reflecting a maturing market focused on long-term adoption rather than short-term speculation.
The Bigger Picture
With stablecoins facilitating trillions in on-chain transactions and tokenization gaining traction among global banks, Amplify’s ETF launches highlight where institutional interest in crypto is heading next. By focusing on the companies building the rails of digital finance, the firm is betting that blockchain infrastructure will play a central role in the future of global markets.
As regulation continues to evolve, products like STBQ and TKNQ may become a key gateway for traditional investors seeking exposure to crypto’s underlying technology without direct token risk.
