Cardi B’s Halftime Show Appearance Sparks Prediction Market Controversy

Cardi B’s appearance at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show has sparked debate over whether she actually performed, with prediction market users divided on the issue. While she danced alongside other celebrities, it was unclear if she was singing, leading Kalshi to settle its market at mid-trading value, prompting backlash and a complaint to the CFTC from a user who felt cheated. Polymarket is expected to announce a decision soon after the show drew around 128 million viewers. The event generated significant trading activity, with Kalshi reporting over $1 billion in trades on Super Bowl day.
