In a significant development for investors, MarketVector Indexes has introduced two new benchmarks to track the growth of stablecoin technology and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index and the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index aim to provide regulated exposure to entities and digital products involved in these rapidly expanding sectors.
Alongside these benchmarks, Amplify ETFs has launched two exchange-traded funds (ETFs) designed to align with the new indices. The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) and Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) will trade on the NYSE Arca exchange, offering investors a way to engage with the markets without directly holding stablecoins or tokenized assets.
As of now, the stablecoin market capitalization has reached approximately $308.6 billion, reflecting a more than 50% increase since the end of 2024. The sector, however, remains dominated by a few major players, with Tether's USDt accounting for around 60% of the market, while Circle's USDC holds about 24%.
MarketVector, based in Germany and regulated by BaFin, has not disclosed specific companies included in the new indexes, but the move underscores a growing trend toward the adoption of stablecoins and RWAs in major financial markets.
