The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has extended its review of two compute-power futures contracts proposed by NYMEX, a CME Group subsidiary, by 60 days. The new decision deadline is January 8, 2027, compared with the previous date of November 9, 2026. The contracts are based on the Silicon Data H100 and B200 Rental Index benchmarks and would allow traders to speculate on or hedge against the cost of renting Nvidia GPUs in the United States. The CFTC is seeking industry input on liquidity and potential manipulation risks affecting the benchmarks. NYMEX agreed to the extension on the condition that no similar contracts are self-certified or listed while the review continues.
