Marker Trax, a leader in cashless payment solutions for the gambling industry, has announced the appointment of John Henderson as its senior vice president of operations.
As the company continues solidifying its cashless payments sector leadership position, Henderson joins the team to play a key role in leading strategic planning efforts, executing new operator and customer initiatives, directing pursuit of key performance indicators, and ensuring overall product and technology quality control. He reports directly to, and will work closely with, Marker Trax President Charlie Skinner.
Henderson is a seasoned, energetic industry veteran who brings to Marker Trax more than four decades of success in delivering technology-based business solutions, leading innovation-forward companies seeking to increase their industry footprints and to solidify their market shares.
“We’re cementing our leadership position in the cashless space, and John is the right leader, at the right time, to help guide us there. He has tactical expertise, and a long track record of success in the IT space. More than that, though, he’s always eager to innovate – which aligns perfectly with our philosophy and goals. We’re lucky to have him on board,” Charlie Skinner, President of Marker Trax, said.
Immediately prior to joining Marker Trax, Henderson served as chief information officer at WorldStrides, a global leader in educational travel services, and helped the company navigate a business and IT transformation program. Henderson has also held client partner roles at Accenture, IBM, and Cognizant, and has served numerous global brands including Choice Hotels, Hilton Hotels, MGM Resorts, Wynn, Disney, and Royal Caribbean.
“Every step of his career, John’s shown natural aptitude for client relationship management and large-scale systems integrations, and a keen, tactical eye for optimizing performance at all levels of an operation. At Marker Trax, we’re increasing our market footprint through continual innovation, and John’s tactical leadership will be of tremendous benefit to reaching our goals,” Skinner said.
Henderson’s addition caps a prolific run of recent accomplishments for the company. It recently unveiled its innovative consumer product, Moolah Play, secured renewed commitment from partner and global payments leader Euronet Worldwide Inc., and is introducing its cashless credit technology into more markets around the country.

Polymarket Acquires CFTC-Licensed Exchange and Clearinghouse QCEX for $112 Million

Polymarket, the world’s largest prediction market, announced that it has closed an acquisition of the holding company of a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-licensed derivatives exchange (QCX LLC) and clearinghouse (QC Clearing LLC) (collectively QCEX) for $112 million. The transaction marks a significant step toward expanding access to Polymarket’s category-defining platform in the US, enabling more users than ever to trade prediction market contracts with regulatory clarity and confidence.
“Polymarket is the largest prediction market globally and has become synonymous with understanding the probability of current events. Demand is greater than ever — not just in user growth and trading volume, but in how mainstream audiences are turning to Polymarket to separate signal from noise, bias, and speculation. Now, with the acquisition of QCEX, we are laying the foundation to bring Polymarket home — re-entering the US as a fully regulated and compliant platform that will allow Americans to trade their opinions,” said Shayne Coplan, Founder and CEO of Polymarket.
“When we began the process to obtain our DCM & DCO licenses over 4 years ago, the prediction market was in its infancy. But we have long believed in its potential to change the way people access and understand information and express their views on that information. Shayne has built a cultural phenomenon in Polymarket. I am excited to bring our companies together and leverage our licenses, technology, and expertise in the retail trading sector to help Polymarket reach its full potential,” said Sergei Dobrovolskii, Founder of QCEX.
Polymarket has continued to build significant momentum as the world’s largest prediction market and a trusted source of real-time information. In the first half of 2025 alone, users have already made about $6 billion in predictions on the platform. Most recently, Polymarket announced an official partnership with 𝕏, further solidifying its position at the intersection of politics, markets, and culture.
The acquisition of the QCEX entities paves the way for U.S. users to access Polymarket in the near future within a fully regulated, US-compliant framework. As prediction markets continue to gain mainstream relevance, Polymarket remains the go-to platform for understanding what the world is thinking — and where it’s headed.
