@distributionat that's a funny way to spell gambling

Sorry, I forgot the fifth market that emerged this year, information, instantiated as "prediction markets". About $28.4B in May, so annualizing to ~300B assuming no growth.

The 5 markets are: information, tokens, compute, data, capital.

I suppose there is also the labor market.

The unification of previously disparate markets into e.g. one token market or one information market reminds me of the kind of unification of markets under globalization, or the unification of markets under mass media, leading to Rosen's superstar economics. Consequently, one should expect, as one does under those scenarios, that the emergent superstar is larger than the aggregation of the previous stars of smaller markets.
