ICYMI: Injective this week introduced the Super Intelligence Compute Index ($SICI), creating an entirely new market for the onchain AI economy.
Now, Injective has taken this a step further by introducing onchain options markets for $SICI, alongside perpetuals with up to 10x leverage.
🟪 A New Financial Market for the AI Economy
Trillions of dollars are expected to flow into AI infrastructure as demand for model training, inference and autonomous agents continues to accelerate.
Yet the financial markets surrounding compute remain largely underdeveloped, with GPU rental prices fragmented across providers and hardware generations.
$SICI changes that by combining five @nvidia GPU rental rates into a single onchain benchmark:
Using hourly compute marketplace data, $SICI creates a new way to gain exposure to the economics of AI infrastructure.
With both perpetuals and options infrastructure now introduced, Injective is expanding how users can trade, hedge and build financial products around the price of compute.
🌏 Bringing the Next Generation of Financial Markets Onchain
Injective previously pioneered the first onchain H100 rental market, launched the $AIX index and introduced pre IPO perpetuals for companies including OpenAI, SpaceX and Anthropic.
$SICI builds on that foundation.
First, Injective brought exposure to the companies shaping the future of AI onchain.
Now, we’re bringing the cost of the infrastructure powering them onchain as well, alongside new derivatives infrastructure that developers can leverage to create entirely new financial applications.
As AI continues to transform the global economy, entirely new asset classes and financial markets will emerge.
Injective is spearheading the infrastructure needed to bring together the RWA and agentic economy.
