Kalshi launches AI computing power forward tool, pricing AI computing power cost

According to Bloomberg, the predictive market platform Kalshi has launched a forward curve tool for pricing AI computing power costs, which provides a single forward price for up to one year through weekly and monthly computing power cost event contracts, to measure the cost direction of renting different levels of GPUs in the future. Kalshi stated that this tool can provide a pricing basis for subsequent derivatives such as futures and options related to computing power, serving hedging and risk management needs. CME Group and ICE are also promoting cooperation with index compilers to launch futures contracts linked to AI computing power, which is being seen as a new type of commodity similar to natural gas and aviation oil.
