Perpetuals.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: PDC) announced that its UpsideOnly risk-free trading and market prediction platform has surpassed 100,000 registered users within weeks of its May 19 launch. The milestone underscores growing demand for an alternative to traditional retail trading models that profit from user losses, the company said.
UpsideOnly allows users to predict movements in global equity, commodity, forex and cryptocurrency markets without risking their own capital. The company's proprietary BayesShield AI analyzes user-generated signals and executes trades using Perpetuals' own capital, sharing profits with users when trades are successful. According to the announcement, early platform activity includes users from more than 180 countries, $38.4 billion in cumulative trading volume and more than 1.1 million fills across 25 instruments, with U.S. crude oil futures and Bitcoin among the most actively traded assets.
Perpetuals also reported that users have collectively avoided an estimated $28.6 million in potential trading losses by using the platform, including one user who would have lost more than $235,000 had they traded with their own capital. This metric highlights the platform's value proposition in reducing retail investors' exposure to financial risk.
The news is significant as it reflects a broader shift in the retail trading landscape, where platforms that align incentives with users—rather than monetizing their losses—are gaining traction. Perpetuals' proprietary trading platform, Kronos X, combines advanced AI and data analysis, trained on billions of trades, to monitor market activity in real time and execute trades with self-clearing blockchain-based settlement. The company's licensed European Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) infrastructure operates with full MiFID II, MiCA, DORA, and EMIR compliance.
