The curve stitches weekly and monthly contracts into a single reference tool for futures, options, and derivatives. Unlike CME and ICE, which are building traditional futures requiring regulatory approval, Kalshi leverages its existing prediction market framework. The underlying driver is the lack of standardised hedging tools for GPU rental costs, which remain volatile and fragmented across cloud providers and data centre operators. Whichever exchange captures the most liquidity will likely set the industry benchmark, similar to how Brent and WTI dominate energy markets. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
