On July 1, Intercontinental Exchange rose 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $126.92/share, with turnover of $204 million. The rally was driven by the company's announcement of a new GPU compute futures product in partnership with NATIVX.
Intercontinental Exchange and NATIVX jointly announced plans to launch GPU compute futures contracts based on the COIL (Compute-and-Connectivity Oil Index). The contracts will be USD-denominated and cash-settled, currently awaiting final regulatory approval with an expected launch later this year. The COIL index normalizes GPU compute pricing into standardized energy units, eliminating regional electricity cost disparities to provide global compute markets with price discovery and risk management tools.
This marks ICE's latest product expansion effort, following recent announcements of perpetual oil futures with OKX, monetary policy futures, and the launch of its AI-driven analytics platform ICE Compass. Goldman Sachs maintains a Buy rating on the stock with a $180 price target. ICE reported 14% year-over-year growth in May average daily trading volume and a 24% surge in open interest.
