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. 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 development is significant as it underscores a paradigm shift in retail trading, where platforms are moving away from profiting from user losses to aligning incentives with users. By allowing traders to test strategies without financial risk, UpsideOnly could democratize access to market participation and reduce the high failure rate among retail traders. The success of the platform may pressure other brokers to adopt similar models or risk losing market share.
