Perpetuals.com's UpsideOnly Platform Surpasses 100,000 Users, Marking Shift in Retail Trading

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 platform allows users to predict movements in global equity, commodity, forex and cryptocurrency markets without risking their own capital, while 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.

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. The company said the milestone reflects growing demand for an alternative to traditional retail trading models that monetize user losses.

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 highlights the platform's unique value proposition: enabling users to participate in financial markets without the financial risk typically associated with trading.

The implications for the industry are significant. Traditional retail trading platforms often generate revenue from user losses, creating a conflict of interest. UpsideOnly's model aligns incentives by rewarding users for accurate predictions and using AI to execute trades. This could disrupt the retail trading market by attracting users who are wary of losing capital, potentially pressuring competitors to adopt similar risk-free models.
