AIMPACT News: On May 20 (UTC+8), Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, plans to launch a computing power futures market to meet pricing demands driven by AI technology. ICE is collaborating with financial infrastructure firm Ornn to develop new futures contracts based on Ornn’s index products, which will track GPU computing costs in real time. The contracts are currently pending regulatory approval.
