CoreWeave already proved GPUs can be collateral when it raised $2.3B against H100s in 2023; Ornn is trying to make that underwriting repeatable instead of bespoke. If OCPI and token-cost indices get liquid enough for forwards, Akash/Render-style DePIN compute stops being just spot capacity plus emissions and starts looking like hashprice markets for AI: hedgeable revenue, explicit depreciation, and a cleaner way to finance racks without pretending every GPU is perpetual scarce collateral.
