[Kalshi Launches AI Compute Power Forward Tool, Betting on 'Compute Commoditization'] According to Bloomberg, prediction market platform Kalshi has launched a forward curve tool for pricing the cost of AI compute power. Through weekly and monthly compute cost event contracts, it provides single forward prices for up to one year, aimed at gauging the future cost trends of renting different tiers of GPUs. Kalshi stated that this tool could serve as a pricing foundation for subsequent compute-related futures, options, and other derivatives, catering to hedging and risk management needs. Meanwhile, CME Group and ICE are also advancing efforts to collaborate with index providers to launch futures contracts tied to AI compute power, with compute power increasingly being viewed as a new commodity akin to natural gas or jet fuel.
