[ICE Plans to Launch Compute Power Futures Market, Wall Street Views AI Infrastructure as an Emerging Tradable Commodity] BlockBeats News, May 20: The Intercontinental Exchange Group (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, plans to launch a compute power futures market to meet pricing demands driven by AI technology. ICE is collaborating with financial infrastructure company Ornn to develop new futures contracts based on Ornn's index products, which will track the real-time cost of GPU (graphics processing unit) computation. The contracts are currently pending regulatory approval. Additionally, on May 12, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Silicon Data, a leader in GPU market intelligence and benchmark data, announced plans to launch a compute power futures market later this year, which is also awaiting regulatory review. Wall Street is increasingly viewing AI infrastructure as an emerging tradable commodity, providing the market with tools for price discovery and risk hedging. ICE aims to establish a more transparent pricing mechanism for compute power, further advancing the maturity of AI-related financial markets. [Original Link]
