What to know:

  • Asset manager Amplify ETFs has brought to market two funds offering exposure to stablecoins and tokenized assets.
  • STBQ focuses on stablecoin technology, while TKNQ focuses on tokenization technology, tracking specific MarketVector indexes.
  • The funds each come with a 69 basis point expense ratio.

Amplify ETFs, a fund provider with over $16 billion in assets under management, has brought to market two new ETFs that give investors targeted exposure to companies and cryptocurrencies behind stablecoins and tokenized assets.

The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) offers exposure to payments companies, crypto infrastructure providers and platforms facilitating stablecoin-based trading.

It tracks the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index, which includes equities and crypto assets such as DeFi protocols and stablecoin-adjacent tokens. Amplify’s website shows the fund currently has 24 holdings, the largest of which are spot crypto ETFs offering exposure to XRP, SOL, ETH, and LINK.

The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) focuses on businesses enabling the digitization of real-world assets and tracks the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index.

TKNQ currently has 53 holdings, the largest of which are the same ETFs that offer exposure to spot cryptocurrency prices, along with several equities.

Both funds carry a 69 basis point total expense ratio and are now trading on NYSE Arca.

The timing of the offerings coincides with regulatory shifts. The U.S. GENIUS Act, signed in July, created a federal framework for stablecoins and also paved the way for institutions to settle tokenized assets using stablecoins by clarifying compliance and audit requirements.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
