Crypto.com Promotes Travis McGhee to Global Head of Predictions
Crypto.com to Further Expand Event Contracts and Prediction Markets Offerings

November 14, 2025 – Crypto.com today announced the promotion of Travis McGhee to Global Head of Predictions, leading Crypto.com’s event contracts and prediction markets offerings, and its planned expansion into additional jurisdictions.
Crypto.com launched its prediction markets offering in 2024 through its CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse and affiliate of Crypto.com, Crypto.com | Derivatives North America, and now features event contracts across sports, financials, economics, and politics. Crypto.com has continued to aggressively broaden the offering through various brand and platform integrations, including with the daily fantasy sports app Underdog, social media network Truth Social, entertainment media website Hollywood.com, and social gaming platform MyPrize.
“We saw a significant opportunity when we first launched our initial sports event contracts in 2024, and their popularity and our platform have grown exponentially since,” said Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com. “Travis is a proven financial technology leader who understands the importance of regulation and responsible innovation. We are thrilled to have Travis at the helm of such a high potential global offering for Crypto.com, and his appointment is a testament to our aggressive pursuit of this space.”
McGhee was most recently Managing Director, Global Head of Capital Markets at Crypto.com, where he oversaw the successful expansion of Crypto.com’s product and service portfolio to include stocks and ETF trading, and was previously CEO of Crypto.com | Derivatives North America. Prior to Crypto.com, McGhee was Chief Executive Officer of CFTC-regulated North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex) and led the company through its acquisition by Crypto.com. McGhee also has broad experience in capital markets, having been an options trader on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and serving as an executive with Tradestation, OptionsHouse, and TradeMonster.
“Crypto.com is broadly recognized as the most trusted providers of prediction market services, and that journey began when we became the first regulated platform to offer these services to users in the U.S., including the first to offer Sports,” said McGhee. “Prediction markets have proven to be part of mainstream digital engagement and I am excited to continue to build on Crypto.com’s leadership in this arena.”
