MarketVector Debuts Stablecoin and Tokenization ETF Benchmarks

#MarketVector Indexes launched two benchmarks Tuesday focused on stablecoin infrastructure and real-world asset tokenization alongside exchange-traded funds from U.S. issuer Amplify #ETFs. The products offer regulated exposure to companies building payment rails and RWA platforms as adoption accelerates.

The MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index and MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index target firms and digital asset products involved in stablecoin issuance, payments, settlement, and tokenized asset platforms. Amplify ETFs introduced two funds tracking the benchmarks for NYSE Arca trading.

The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF, trading under ticker TKNQ, follows the tokenization index while the Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF, under ticker STBQ, tracks the stablecoin benchmark. Both funds follow MarketVector's benchmarks rather than holding stablecoins or tokenized assets directly.

Germany-based MarketVector operates as a regulated benchmark administrator overseen by BaFin with benchmarks licensed by exchange-traded product issuers worldwide. The company did not disclose which companies or products are currently included in either index.

Stablecoins and #real-world asset tokenization shaped #crypto markets significantly in 2025. DeFiLlama data shows the #stablecoin market cap currently sits at $308.6 billion, up more than 50% from the end of 2024.

The market remains highly concentrated despite several new stablecoin launches last year. Tether's $USDT accounts for about 60% of total stablecoin market capitalization, while Circle's $USDC represents roughly 24% of the market.

Real-world asset tokenization experienced even faster growth in 2025, with total value rising to about $19.6 billion at press time from roughly $5.55 billion at 2024's end. The increase represents growth of approximately 250%, according to data from   RWA.xyz.
