In all probability yours is the right explanation. However it also occurs to me that I wonder if the competition against BTC ETFs is putting pressure on the GLD issuers to play less rehypothecation games. I notice that both Silver and Gold has been on a tear since Jan.
Perhaps they realize that GLD needs to compete.

there is also a bit of fee pressure, some of the btc etfs have fees of 0.2% while gld is 0.4%
