🛢️ Nvidia GPU time could become the new oil.

Kalshi has launched forward curves for B200, H200, and A100 rental prices, treating AI compute more like a commodity that businesses may eventually hedge.

The idea is interesting, but the market will need real liquidity before these curves become dependable benchmarks.
