“Silicon Data Raises $30.5M Series A Round from CME Ventures, Hack VC, Wintermute, VanEck, DRW.”

The backing of CME Ventures and DRW (professional trading firms) alongside traditional VCs suggests that compute is being financialized in ways that will matter to both AI operators and infrastructure investors.”
