## Quote — verbatim

> On Akash itself, \[a\] lease could be an NFT, right? A lease gets created every time we have an agreement... I can sell that lease in an open market, right? Now that lease becomes a tradable commodity because now I have access to H100s, right? So imagine the efficiency that brings a futures market to Akash itself.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Why he's "a lot more bullish on NFTs now than I was in the bull market" — financializing compute access rights.
