## Quote — verbatim

> There is a whole new market for commoditizing, especially H100s. You should be able to trade compute cycles, you should be able to create futures... Certainly I would say like a year, we're going to have compute market futures.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Prompted by an FT story on DRW exploring tokenized GPU compute trading; he says "Wall Street is going nuts" over Akash, and futures would fix customers' supply-reliability complaints.
