Perpetuals.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: PDC), a financial technology company that combines regulated trading infrastructure with artificial intelligence, has announced its intention to offer tokenized U.S. equities through its platform. The move would operate under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s five-year Innovation Exemption framework for onchain trading of National Market System stocks. The company has published a notice of its intent to rely on the temporary exemption for Tokenized Securities Venues.
The planned offering builds on Perpetuals’ existing European tokenization platform and a recent agreement to tokenize more than $300 million in physical commodities. According to the company, the tokenized equities would give traders access to 24/7 trading, near-instant settlement, and fractional ownership, while still retaining dividend and voting rights. The initiative follows the founding team’s development of regulatory-approved tokenized stocks in 2021 and represents a further expansion of the company’s tokenization activities into the U.S. market.
This development matters because it could signal a significant shift in how U.S. equities are traded. By leveraging the SEC’s Innovation Exemption, Perpetuals aims to bring the benefits of blockchain-based trading—such as continuous market access and faster settlement—to traditional stocks. If successful, the move could pressure other exchanges and trading platforms to explore similar tokenization efforts, potentially reshaping the infrastructure of U.S. equity markets. It also highlights the growing intersection of decentralized finance and regulated securities, a trend that regulators are watching closely.
Perpetuals.com describes itself as a fintech company that pairs proprietary AI with regulated market infrastructure to open global markets to more participants. Its flagship consumer product, UpsideOnly, is a risk-free trading and market prediction platform that uses a proprietary AI algorithm combined with crowd intelligence. The company’s patent-pending BayesShield AI analyzes billions of data points to identify the strongest signals from top-performing traders. Perpetuals’ technology is used by the EU-licensed Perpetual Markets Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF), PM MTF Ltd, which operates under full MiFID II, MiCA, DORA, and EMIR compliance. With this regulatory foundation, Perpetuals delivers white-label trading services that let partners launch on fully licensed infrastructure.
For investors, the announcement is noteworthy because it demonstrates Perpetuals’ continued push into tokenization and its ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes. The company’s expansion into U.S. equities, if approved, could open new revenue streams and attract a broader user base. However, the plan is subject to the SEC’s exemption framework, and it remains to be seen how the regulator will treat tokenized securities under the temporary relief.
