SAN FRANCISCO -- (Business Wire)

Perpetuals.com Ltd (Nasdaq: PDC) today released new data showing that the company’s risk-free trading platform UpsideOnly now has users in 172 countries worldwide. The global demand for UpsideOnly can be seen in the more than 100,000 new customers added in under two weeks, with the platform now having surpassed 400,000 total users. Since launching on May 19, users have generated more than 3.3 million fills, with crypto and commodities accounting for nearly 90% of trading activity.

The breadth and pace of that growth point to strong global demand for UpsideOnly’s model. Rather than trading with their own capital, users take virtual positions across equity, commodity, forex, and crypto markets. Perpetuals’s proprietary AI, BayesShield, analyzes that activity to identify the strongest signals. Perpetuals then uses its own capital to place trades based on those signals. When those trades are profitable, eligible users can share in the profits. If they are not, users lose nothing.

Additional findings from UpsideOnly include:

  • The five countries with the most UpsideOnly users are, in order: the Philippines, India, Kenya, Nigeria and the United States.
  • A total of 85% of users accessed UpsideOnly exclusively via mobile devices.
  • Bitcoin accounted for 26.7% of fills, followed by gold at 23.7%, Ethereum at 10.4%, Binance Coin at 7.8%, Solana at 7.0%, XRP at 6.5%, oil at 5.2%, silver at 2.5% and the euro at 1.5%.

“People in nearly every country across the world are using UpsideOnly because traders are discovering that there is finally a platform on their side,” said Patrick Gruhn, CEO of Perpetuals. “Unlike others, UpsideOnly isn’t built to bleed users dry. Instead, we win together. This pro-trader model is clearly resonating around the globe, and we are just getting started.”

The growing volume of activity on UpsideOnly gives BayesShield more data to identify skilled traders and generate accurate trading insights. Perpetuals also recently backtested BayesShield using the same production code as the live platform, replaying approximately 1.07 billion historical order fills over 375 days. The strategy generated a hypothetical, non-compounded return of 380%, with a maximum drawdown, or largest decline from a peak, of 27%, providing further evidence of BayesShield’s ability to generate accurate trading insights.
