About
- Liquid Compute offers a neutral benchmark index for NVIDIA GPU hours, bilateral brokerage of physical GPU capacity, and compute-backed financing, and it is seeking CFTC approval to run a designated futures exchange and clearinghouse (PMEX Markets).
- It serves AI companies, neoclouds and GPU operators, trading firms, and lenders who need price discovery, hedging, financing, and settlement for compute.
What it helps with
- GPU and memory pricing can move 20–40% in months, and there is no forward curve, no standardized hedge, and no benchmark
- Upfront operator deposits lock up buyer equity and constrain the market's pace.
- Buyers lack a neutral reference price to compare compute offers on fit, timing, reliability, and terms.
- Unused contracted compute capacity is hard to resell or reassign.
- Lenders and operators lack qualified offtake and hedging structures to underwrite compute credit.

A practical view of what is available and where limitations apply.
| Offering | Available | Detail |

| Physical compute brokerage | Yes | Live per August 2026 post; sourcing, quotes, and commercial negotiation of GPU capacity. |
| Physical delivery of running GPUs | Limited | Described as the step that turns a contract into running GPUs; tied to the pending exchange. |
