New benchmarks provide regulated exposure to stablecoin and real-world asset infrastructure
MarketVector Indexes has introduced two new investment benchmarks focused on stablecoin technology and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, alongside the launch of two exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from Amplify ETFs. The move reflects accelerating institutional interest in blockchain-based financial infrastructure as adoption continues to expand.
Stablecoin and Tokenization Benchmarks
The newly launched MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index tracks companies involved in stablecoin issuance, payments, and settlement systems. In parallel, the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index focuses on firms building platforms and infrastructure that support tokenized real-world assets, such as blockchain-based representations of traditional financial products.
Rather than holding digital assets directly, the benchmarks are designed to provide indirect, regulated exposure to the broader ecosystem supporting stablecoins and RWA tokenization.
Amplify ETFs has rolled out two funds tied to the benchmarks. The Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) tracks the stablecoin-focused index, while the Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) follows the tokenization benchmark. Both ETFs are listed on NYSE Arca, offering investors access through traditional equity markets.
The stablecoin market capitalization stands at approximately $308.6 billion, representing over 50% growth since the end of 2024. Meanwhile, the total value of tokenized real-world assets has climbed to about $19.6 billion, up roughly 250% year over year, underscoring rising demand for blockchain-based financial products.
