Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

LEGRBFirst Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF

STBQCAmplify Stablecoin Technology ETF

In short

LEGR Blockchain, hold the coins. LEGR has tracked the Indxx Blockchain Index since January 2018, owning roughly 110 global companies that build with the technology or stand to benefit from it, rather than the tokens themselves.

STBQ Most crypto-equity funds chase miners or blockchain generalists. STBQ narrows in on stablecoin plumbing: the issuers, payment rails and wallet tech behind digital dollars, plus a sleeve of digital asset ETPs, in one concentrated basket.

Stated mandate

LEGR The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Indxx Blockchain Index before fees and expenses. The index targets companies involved with blockchain technology or positioned to benefit from its use in business processes.

STBQ The fund seeks to track the MarketVectorTM Stablecoin Technology Leaders Index, which targets companies involved in stablecoin technology and infrastructure, along with digital asset exchange-traded products.

Why people hold it

  • LEGR A first-wave name: launched January 2018, and it has tracked the same blockchain index through a full crypto boom and bust.
  • Picks and shovels, not whitepapers: roughly 110 global stocks either working with blockchain or positioned to benefit from it inside their own business processes.
  • Spreading the theme across about 110 operating companies keeps any single name from dominating, and the fund sits in the upper half of its global thematic peer group.
  • STBQ A dedicated stablecoin theme, not a broad crypto grab bag. The index targets companies that issue stablecoins or run the payments, wallets and infrastructure the transactions ride on.amplifyetfs.com
  • Two sleeves, one ticker: stablecoin-linked equities alongside digital asset exchange-traded products. The fund itself does not buy tokens directly.amplifyetfs.com
  • Concentrated on purpose. Roughly 30 positions from a rules-based screen, so the core stablecoin names carry real weight instead of being diluted by dozens of tangential ones.
  • The 0.69% fee lands right at the median for crypto-equity basket funds, so the narrower mandate does not come at a premium price.

Worth knowing

  • LEGR The 0.65% expense ratio sits above the typical fee among global thematic ETFs, and several funds in that group charge a fraction of it.
  • It trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than on giant ETFs. Limit orders do real work here.
  • Stocks, not coins. Crypto moves reach this fund only through share prices of companies where blockchain may be one line in a much larger business.
  • STBQ Broader crypto-equity exposure comes cheaper. BKCH charges 0.50% against this fund's 0.69%, so the tighter theme costs a bit more per year.
  • It launched in December 2025, so there is no track record across a full crypto cycle, and trading has been thin since then, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads.
  • The ETP sleeve passes crypto price swings straight through, and the fund is non-diversified, so a stumble at one large holding is felt across the portfolio.amplifyetfs.com
