The newly listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. continue to gobble up crypto, with the latest data insights indicating the funds are now backed by 4% of the entire 21 million BTC supply.

Since their launch in January, Bitcoin ETFs have gained popularity, outpacing traditional commodities such as Gold and Silver. The funds have seen an influx of billions of dollars, signaling a pivot in the ongoing mainstream adoption of digital assets.
