MarketVector Indexes has launched two new benchmarks focused on stablecoin and real-world asset tokenization (RWA) infrastructure, alongside the debut of two exchange-traded funds from US issuer Amplify ETFs designed to track the indexes.
According to Tuesday’s announcement, the MarketVector Stablecoin Technology Index and the MarketVector Tokenization Technology Index are designed to give investors regulated exposure to companies and digital asset products involved in stablecoin issuance, payments and settlement, as well as platforms supporting tokenized RWAs.
The company also announced the launch of two funds from Amplify ETFs tied to the new benchmarks. The Amplify Tokenization Technology ETF (TKNQ) tracks the tokenization-focused index, while the Amplify Stablecoin Technology ETF (STBQ) follows the stablecoin benchmark.
Both funds are structured to follow MarketVector’s benchmarks rather than hold stablecoins or tokenized assets directly. The ETFs will trade on the NYSE Arca exchange in the United States.

The company did not disclose which companies or products are currently included in the index.

Stablecoin and RWA growth in 2025
Stablecoins and the tokenization of real-world assets were among the key narratives shaping crypto markets in 2025.
DeFiLlama data shows the stablecoin market cap is currently $308.6 billion, up more than 50% from the end of 2024.
Despite the launch of several new stablecoins last year, the market remains highly concentrated. Tether’s USDt (USDT) accounts for about 60% of total stablecoin market capitalization, while Circle’s USDC (USDC) represents about 24% of the market.

According to data from RWA.xyz, the total value of tokenized RWAs rose to about $19.6 billion at the time of writing, up from roughly $5.55 billion at the end of 2024, an increase of about 250%.

Several crypto industry executives who spoke with Cointelegraph late last year said they expect adoption of stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets to continue growing in 2026.
