The CFTC’s comment period on compute derivatives ended Oct. 20, while two proposed GPU rental futures remain under separate review, leaving their planned U.S. launch dependent on regulatory approval. The New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) seeks approval for contracts tied to Silicon Data indexes of Nvidia H100 and B200 rental rates. Each would cover 730 GPU-hours and settle in cash, without delivery of computing hardware. Prices would be quoted in U.S. dollars and cents per GPU-hour. The CFTC extended its review of the NYMEX filings by 45 days on Sept. 21, citing novel or complex issues.
