Perpetuals.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: PDC) announced that its risk-free paper trading platform, UpsideOnly, surpassed 600,000 registered users on Sept. 26, doubling its user base after reaching its first 300,000 users in just three months. The company said the second 300,000 users joined over 38 days, averaging nearly 7,900 daily sign-ups. As of Sept. 30, UpsideOnly had users in 172 countries, more than 3.8 million simulated fills and more than $95 billion in traded fill notional using virtual money.
The rapid growth of UpsideOnly underscores a broader shift in retail trading, where users seek to engage with financial markets without risking their own capital. The platform allows users to make financial-market predictions and take virtual positions, providing a sandbox for testing strategies. Perpetuals said its BayesShield AI analyzes trading behavior to identify signals and patterns that the company can use when deploying its own capital, with half of resulting profits shared with users whose predictions contributed to those outcomes. This profit-sharing model could disrupt traditional retail trading by aligning user interests with the company’s success, potentially creating a new revenue stream for participants.
Perpetuals.com Ltd. is a fintech company developing AI-powered trading products and prediction markets, with a global footprint across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Its mission is to reduce risk by empowering retail users with intuitive, secure, and efficient trading experiences across multiple asset classes. Perpetuals’s proprietary trading platform, Kronos X, combines advanced AI and data analysis. The technology is trained on billions of trades, monitors market activity in real time, identifies patterns for trading and risk decisions, and provides multi-asset coverage with self-clearing blockchain-based settlement. The company’s licensed European Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) infrastructure and Kronos X multi-asset exchange platform operate with full MiFID II, MiCA, DORA, and EMIR compliance.
The milestone matters because it demonstrates the scalability of Perpetuals’ AI-driven approach and its ability to attract a global user base rapidly. With 172 countries represented, UpsideOnly has the potential to become a leading prediction market, challenging established platforms. The integration of BayesShield AI not only enhances the company’s trading strategies but also rewards users for their contributions, creating a symbiotic ecosystem. As Perpetuals continues to expand, its success could influence how fintech companies leverage user-generated data and virtual trading to inform real-world investments.
