Equity volatility products are gaining traction in top futures prop firms, with E-mini VIX futures allowing precise hedges against equities ahead of critical CPI data. Echoes of the dot-com era can be found in AI’s massive infrastructure build-out, sky-high valuations and showy displays of wealth. Venture capital investors have been courting AI startups with private jets, box seats and big checks. Many AI startups tout their recurring revenue as a key metric for growth, but there are doubts as to how sustainable or predictable those projections are, particularly for younger businesses. Some AI firms are completing multiple mammoth fundraisings in a single year. Not all will necessarily flourish.

With this update, prop firms using the YourPropFirm infrastructure can now offer ultra-low latency execution, real-time market data, and direct exchange access through Rithmic—all while managing everything from one backend.
