Amplify ETFs Expands Crypto ETF Lineup With Stablecoin and Tokenization Funds

Amplify ETFs announced on Tuesday that it has launched two new exchange-traded funds designed to give investors focused exposure to core pillars of digital finance infrastructure: the Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) and the Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ).

In a press release shared with CryptoNews, the firm claims these latest launches position Amplify as a first mover in both the stablecoin and tokenization ETF categories, as adoption of blockchain-based financial infrastructure speeds up.

STBQ Targets the Expanding Stablecoin Economy

The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF is designed to provide targeted exposure to equities and digital assets that underpin the stablecoin ecosystem.

Stablecoins—digital assets engineered to maintain price stability relative to fiat currencies—now facilitate more than $9 trillion in annual transaction volume, according to industry estimates.

Analysts project the market could expand from roughly $300 billion today to more than $3.7 trillion by 2030 as use cases broaden across payments, trading, and settlement.

STBQ focuses on companies and crypto-linked assets generating meaningful revenue from payments technology, digital asset infrastructure, and trading platforms.

The fund seeks investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index (MVSTBQ).

At each rebalance, between 25% and 50% of the portfolio may be allocated to crypto assets tied to stablecoin and decentralized finance use cases.

TKNQ Targets the Tokenization of Real-World Assets

The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF targets companies and digital assets driving the tokenization of real-world assets. Tokenization allows assets such as equities, bonds, and real estate to be represented as blockchain-based tokens, allowing for fractional ownership, faster settlement, and improved transparency.

Analysts estimate that tokenized assets could grow from approximately $176 billion today to more than $3.6 trillion by 2030, driven by increasing institutional adoption and regulatory progress.

TKNQ invests across tokenization platforms, blockchain infrastructure providers, exchanges, custodians, brokerages, and financial institutions, advancing real-world asset digitization.

The fund seeks to track the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index (MVTKNQ), with 25% to 50% exposure to qualifying crypto-related assets at the time of rebalance.

Regulation and Institutional Momentum Shape the Backdrop

The launch of STBQ and TKNQ comes during growing regulatory clarity for digital finance infrastructure. In the United States and Europe, evolving frameworks are increasingly positioning stablecoins and tokenization as compliant components of modern financial systems.

This shift has encouraged deeper institutional participation, particularly in payments, settlement, and capital markets infrastructure, said the firm.

Exec Perspective and Broader ETF Strategy

“Amplify has been committed to digital finance innovation for over eight years,” said Christian Magoon, chief executive officer of Amplify ETFs.

“Stablecoins and tokenization are becoming important components of modern financial infrastructure, and with STBQ and TKNQ, we’re continuing our work to deliver ETF solutions that help investors access these advancing areas of the market,” Magoon added.

Amplify Launches XRP-Based Option Income ETF

In November, Amplify ETFs introduced the first XRP-based option income exchange-traded fund, the Amplify XRP 3% Monthly Premium Income ETF (XRPM).

The new fund expands Amplify’s YieldSmart family—an options-focused ETF lineup designed to balance income generation with capital appreciation. XRPM offers exposure to XRP’s price dynamics while pursuing high, recurring income through an actively managed covered call strategy.

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Eric Trump on Tuesday described Bitcoin as a “modern-day gold,” calling it a liquid store of value that can act as a hedge to real estate and other assets. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 According to reports, the remark came during a TV appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, tied to the launch of American Bitcoin, the mining and treasury firm he helped start. Company Holdings And Strategy Based on public filings and company summaries, American Bitcoin has accumulated 2,443 BTC on its balance sheet. That stash has been valued in the low hundreds of millions of dollars at recent spot prices. The firm mixes large-scale mining with the goal of holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, which it says will help it grow both production and asset holdings over time. Eric Trump’s comments were direct. He told viewers that institutions are treating Bitcoin more like a store of value than a fringe idea, and he warned firms that resist blockchain adoption. The tone was strong at times, and the line about Bitcoin being a modern equivalent of gold was used to frame American Bitcoin’s role as both miner and holder.   Eric Trump has said: bitcoin is modern-day gold — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) September 16, 2025 How The Company Went Public American Bitcoin moved toward a public listing via an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining earlier this year, a deal that kept most of the original shareholders in control and positioned the new entity for a Nasdaq debut. Reports show that mining partner Hut 8 holds a large ownership stake, leaving the Trump family and other backers with a minority share. The listing brought fresh attention and capital to the firm as it began trading under the ticker ABTC. Market watchers say the firm’s public debut highlights two trends: mining companies are trying to grow by both producing and holding Bitcoin, and political ties are bringing more headlines to crypto firms. Some analysts point out that holding large amounts of Bitcoin on the balance sheet exposes a company to price swings, while supporters argue it aligns incentives between miners and investors. Related Reading: Ethereum Bulls Target $8,500 With Big Money Backing The Move – Details Reaction And Possible Risks Based on coverage of the launch, investors have reacted with both enthusiasm and caution. Supporters praise the prospect of a US-based miner that aims to be transparent and aggressive about building a reserve. Critics point to governance questions, possible conflicts tied to high-profile backers, and the usual risks of a volatile asset being held on corporate balance sheets. Eric Trump’s remark that Bitcoin has taken gold’s role in today’s world reflects both his belief in its value and American Bitcoin’s strategy of mining and holding. Whether that view sticks will depend on how investors and institutions respond in the months ahead. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

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…
