This graphic only gets updated when the world's most popular gold ETF, SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:GLD), reaches a new milestone - either a one hundred tonne increment in holdings (amounting to about $3 billion in net assets) or when it passes a country's central bank holdings (GLD passed Switzerland a couple weeks ago).
It only seems like this chart appears here a lot because the ETF is adding "tonnes to the trust" at a furious pace - 323 tonnes so far this year, an average of six tonnes per day.
Full Disclosure: Long GLD at time of writing.
