Kalshi recorded over $1 billion in trades tied to the Super Bowl on February 8, 2026, the highest single-day volume in the platform's history. Users drove heavy activity in entertainment markets, including $113 million on Bad Bunny's opening song and $47 million on surprise guests, while the firm rolled out surveillance measures to address insider trading concerns.
