China Works on AI Token Futures in Race Against U.S. GPU Compute
The post China Works on AI Token Futures in Race Against U.S. GPU Compute appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China is working to design AI token futures contracts, the smallest units of information in AI models. China’s daily AI token usage has surged since early 2024, reaching over 140 trillion tokens by March 2026. China experts are pushing token futures to compete against US GPU compute futures in the global AI race. China’s Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) is in the very early stages of researching and designing artificial intelligence (AI) token-based futures. AI token daily usage in China has surged since early 2024, reaching over 140 trillion tokens per day by March 2026. This move is also partly driven by intensifying AI rivalry with the United States, which is developing GPU compute futures.
