CFTC seeks comment on AI compute futures as CME eyes October launch

The CFTC sent a request for comment on AI compute capacity futures to the White House Office of Management and Budget. CME Group plans to launch two compute futures contracts on Oct. 5, pending approval, with Silicon Data providing benchmarks. The regulatory review may delay CME and ICE product timelines; a 30- to 60-day public comment period is expected to follow.
