The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is seeking public input on proposed artificial intelligence compute futures contracts. The regulatory review could shape an emerging market designed to allow companies and investors to trade and hedge the costs associated with increasingly scarce AI computing power.
The initiative comes as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange eyes an October launch for the contracts. The proposed derivatives aim to provide market participants with risk management tools to navigate pricing and supply volatility in the high-performance computing sector.
