Amplify ETFs Aims to Redefine Value Transfer with Stablecoin, Tokenization Bets

Amplify ETFs has filed for two innovative exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on stablecoin and tokenization technologies, marking a strategic expansion into emerging blockchain sectors. The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (QSTB) and Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (QTKN) aim to provide investors with exposure to companies and infrastructure supporting the growth of stablecoins and tokenized assetsAmplify ETFs Files Two First-of-Their-Kind Products: A Stablecoin Tech ETF and a Tokenization Tech ETF^[1]. These filings, announced on October 7, 2025, represent the first step in the SEC registration process and are not an offer to sell securitiesAmplify ETFs Files Two First-of-Their-Kind Products: A^[2].

QSTB seeks to track the Stablecoin Technology Index, which targets firms and crypto assets involved in stablecoin-related revenues, investments, or infrastructure. Stablecoins, designed to maintain a stable value relative to assets like the U.S. dollar, are increasingly used for digital payments and settlementsAmplify ETFs Files Two First-of-Their-Kind Products: A Stablecoin Tech ETF and a Tokenization Tech ETF^[1]. The index focuses on entities positioned to benefit from the adoption of stablecoins as a frictionless medium of exchange. QTKN, meanwhile, tracks the Tokenization Technology Index, which includes companies and assets supporting the conversion of real-world assets into blockchain-based tokens. Tokenization, the process of digitizing ownership rights on distributed ledgers, is transforming how assets such as real estate and securities are issued and tradedAmplify ETFs Files Two First-of-Their-Kind Products: A Stablecoin Tech ETF and a Tokenization Tech ETF^[1].

Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs, emphasized the transformative potential of these technologies. "Stablecoins enable seamless value transfer, while tokenization is redefining asset ownership and settlement," he stated, highlighting Amplify's role as a pioneer in blockchain-focused ETFs since launching the first actively managed blockchain ETF (BLOK) in 2018Amplify ETFs Files Two First-of-Their-Kind Products: A Stablecoin Tech ETF and a Tokenization Tech ETF^[1]. The filings build on Amplify's existing $15.5 billion in assets under management and its track record of delivering targeted investment tools for evolving marketsAmplify ETFs Files Two First-of-Their-Kind Products: A^[2].

The new ETFs reflect growing institutional interest in blockchain integration. Stablecoins have gained traction for their utility in cross-border transactions and decentralized finance (DeFi), while tokenization is expanding into real-world assets (RWAs) such as real estate and commodities. However, both sectors face regulatory and technological risks, including rapid market changes and volatility in related crypto assetsAmplify ETFs Files Two First-of-Their-Kind Products: A Stablecoin Tech ETF and a Tokenization Tech ETF^[1]. Amplify's approach, which avoids direct investments in crypto assets, focuses on equities and infrastructure companies, offering a diversified yet sector-specific exposure.

Market analysts note that these ETFs align with broader trends in regulated crypto adoption. European markets, which have pioneered crypto ETPs since 2015, provide a blueprint for U.S. growth, particularly in infrastructure development and liquidity provision. The U.S. market, now embracing spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, is poised for further innovation as regulatory clarity improves. Amplify's filings underscore the potential for institutional capital to flow into blockchain-driven sectors while navigating evolving compliance frameworks.

Investors are cautioned to consider the risks inherent in these ETFs. QSTB is concentrated in stablecoin-related technologies, exposing it to regulatory and competitive uncertainties, while QTKN's focus on tokenization-linked assets carries heightened volatility and market concentration risksAmplify ETFs Files Two First-of-Their-Kind Products: A Stablecoin Tech ETF and a Tokenization Tech ETF^[1]. The funds will not directly hold crypto assets, relying instead on sampling strategies to track their indices.

The prospectus for both ETFs is available at AmplifyStablecoinETF.com and AmplifyTokenizationETF.com, with final approval pending SEC reviewAmplify ETFs Files Two First-of-Their-Kind Products: A Stablecoin Tech ETF and a Tokenization Tech ETF^[1]. Once launched, these funds will join Amplify's suite of actively managed and index-based ETFs, catering to investors seeking exposure to high-growth, technology-driven markets.
