# ETF Wrappers Move Down the Crypto Cap Table

US spot ETF structures keep extending past bitcoin into small, thinly floated tokens, and because these funds lock away a large share of circulating supply within weeks, each new listing produces a supply-driven rerating detached from the protocol's usage — so more issuers file for narrow-float assets and price behaviour in those tokens increasingly reflects fund flows rather than adoption.
