Brokers prepare AI compute futures as CFTC review drags on
- —CME contract covers 730 GPU-hours, roughly one chip running for a month
- —ICE references Ornn and NATIVX indices; Nodal partners with Compute Desk
- —Jump Trading and DRW are staffing desks ahead of regulated compute futures
- —BCG sees AI compute market growing from $360B in 2025 to $2.3T by 2030
Why it matters: Exchange-traded GPU futures would create a new asset class and a benchmark price for compute, shaping costs across AI and crypto infrastructure.
