Perpetuals.com Ltd (Nasdaq: PDC) today announced that UpsideOnly, its risk-free trading and market prediction platform, has surpassed 300,000 users, three months after launching on May 19, 2026. The milestone means UpsideOnly has added an average of more than 100,000 new users per month since launch, a rapid expansion that has drawn in traders worldwide.
UpsideOnly enables users to predict where equity, commodity, forex, and crypto markets are heading using virtual money, without risking their own money. Perpetuals then uses its own capital to trade on the strongest signals identified by its proprietary AI, BayesShield. When those trades are profitable, eligible users who helped generate the signal can share in the resulting profits. When they are not, users lose nothing.
The 300,000-user milestone follows rapid growth since the platform surpassed 100,000 users within weeks of launch. The continued expansion reflects growing interest in an alternative approach to market participation that combines human market insight, artificial intelligence and aligned incentives.
Rather than attempting to predict asset prices directly, BayesShield analyzes trading activity to identify traders demonstrating consistent and repeatable skill. When a sufficient number of traders independently take the same position at approximately the same time, the system can generate automated signals that inform Perpetuals’s trading strategies.
Recent backtesting has provided additional evidence supporting the technology underpinning UpsideOnly. Using the same production code that powers the live platform, Perpetuals replayed approximately 1.07 billion historical order fills over 375 days. The strategy generated a hypothetical, non-compounded return of 380%, with a maximum drawdown of 27% and a return-to-drawdown ratio of 4.4. The results demonstrate how BayesShield’s patent-pending approach to identifying skilled traders and areas of market consensus can generate accurate trading insights.
“In just three months, UpsideOnly has grown rapidly, exceeding our most optimistic forecasts,” said Patrick Gruhn, CEO of Perpetuals. “UpsideOnly has grown so quickly because traders recognize that there is finally a platform aligned with them. If we win, we profit together. If we lose, traders are never out a penny.”
