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.
The rapid adoption of UpsideOnly underscores a broader shift in retail trading preferences. Traditional platforms often profit from user losses through spreads, commissions, or payment for order flow, whereas UpsideOnly eliminates financial risk for users. This model could disrupt the retail trading industry by aligning incentives between the platform and its users. The platform's success also demonstrates the viability of AI-driven prediction markets, where collective user insights are leveraged for trading decisions.
