HPC filed a CFTC comment letter arguing compute qualifies as a commodity under the Commodity Exchange Act and can support regulated derivatives, including both dated futures and perpetual contracts. The letter cites H100 rental rates falling from $2.50–$3.19 per hour in late 2024 to $1.92–$2.00 a year later, and a Commission estimate of $430 billion to $1.3 trillion in annual compute services. It asks the CFTC to facilitate GPU-hour and inference-token derivatives, allow competing reference indices, and apply heightened monitoring and position limits early on.
