[US AI Computing Power Futures Market Launch Hindered] According to a report by Jinse Finance on November 11th, citing the Financial Times, US financial market regulators have delayed approving futures contracts linked to AI chip leasing prices, hindering exchanges' plans to launch the first computing power futures market. These contracts allow traders to bet on the leasing prices of AI chips. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has decided to extend the review period for such contracts by at least 60 days. This means that related trading activities will be delayed until at least early 2027. The decision has not yet been publicly announced. The CME Group had previously hoped to launch graphics processing unit (GPU) futures contracts linked to the leasing prices of Nvidia's (NVDA.O) H100 and B200 chips as early as October. The relevant price index was designed by the startup Silicon Data. This delay comes as regulators are soliciting public comments on how to manage the risks of the emerging computing power market. Currently, online trading platforms offer spot computing power price trading, but there is no publicly available futures market for longer-term contracts.
