📉📈 An H100 GPU Went From $8 an Hour to Under $2. That's Why Compute Needs Futures CME is launching futures on AI compute, based on Silicon Data's Nvidia GPU rental index. Look at the volatility they're meant to hedge: 🔴 H100 in the 2024 chip shortage → ~$8/hour 🔴 H100 by late last year → under $2/hour, -75% 🟡 H100 now → ~$2.77/hour 🟢 B200 now → ~$5.86/hour, 2.1x the H100 Two things jump out: 1️⃣ A GPU loses value like a car, not like gold. Every new Nvidia generation pushes the older one down. A 36-month futures curve is basically a public depreciation schedule for AI hardware. 2️⃣ The $BTC market growth is wild. BCG sees compute going from ~$360B in 2025 to ~$2.3T in 2030, about 45% growth a year. Architect's CEO expects $10T in annual notional futures volume by decade-end. Fast growth plus collapsing unit prices is exactly where hedging is needed: $BTC buyers want to lock in low prices, sellers want to lock in high ones. #BTC Price Analysis# #Bitcoin Price Prediction: What is Bitcoins next move?#
