Drake Bets $1.5M in USDT on Argentina for World Cup Final

Drake is putting his money where his mouth is for the upcoming FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain. The Canadian rapper confirmed a $1.5 million bet using USDT on the crypto gambling site Stake. If Argentina wins the match within regulation time, the payout will be worth over $5.1 million.

This high stakes move is drawing extra attention because of the so called Drake Curse. Fans believe teams supported by the artist often fail at crucial moments. Adding to the tension, betting markets currently favor Spain to win in regulation time. The wager specifically requires a victory during the standard 90 minutes, meaning extra time or penalty kicks will not count toward his payout.

While Drake is known for his public interest in Bitcoin, this specific gamble uses stablecoins. His move highlights the growing role of crypto platforms in major sports betting events. With the match taking place at MetLife Stadium this Sunday, all eyes are on whether Argentina can defy the odds and secure a win within regulation.

The final game is already seeing high volume on prediction platforms, reflecting a shift in how fans interact with the tournament. As crypto gambling continues to attract celebrities, these large public wagers are becoming a standard part of the pre game hype. Whether the rapper walks away with a massive profit or faces another defeat remains to be seen.
