Verifikation
PLAUSIBLE. "Near-zero in 2019" is accurate (Augur was essentially dead, PredictIt tiny). For "140M quarterly bets" in Q4 2025: Kalshi had 27.67M in December, implying ~63M for Q4. Polymarket's Q4 was comparable given 95M annual with late-year surge. Combined Q4 2025 could plausibly reach 120-140M+. Exact verification impossible without official Q4 disclosures from both platforms.
