Perpetuals Launches No-Loss AI Platform Using BayesShield Trained on 22B Trades
PDC•Perpetuals.com Ltd launched UpsideOnly, an AI-driven prediction platform that uses BayesShield AI—trained on over 22 billion retail trades—to fund user calls across stocks, crypto, commodities and forex, then shares profits with signal providers. The Nasdaq-listed company absorbs all losing positions under a ‘‘no loss’’ model despite founder Patrick Gruhn’s former FTX Europe ties.
1. Platform Launch and Features
UpsideOnly lets users submit predictions across equities, crypto, commodities, forex and other markets without posting capital. Perpetuals funds selected trades with its own balance sheet when BayesShield AI signals high success probability, then splits any profit evenly with the user whose call influenced the trade. No deposit is required, though a refundable $1 minimum boosts potential payouts.
2. AI Model and Data
BayesShield AI drives trade selection and was trained on over 22 billion executed retail trades combined with crowd intelligence signals. The model continuously refines its probability estimates, aiming to filter high-confidence user calls and convert them into live positions while minimizing false positives.
3. Risk and Regulatory Positioning
Under the ‘no loss’ promise, users never lose money on unsuccessful trades; Perpetuals absorbs all losses. Deposits are held in U.S. Treasury bills via an external fiduciary account, and the company warns that operational and market risks remain despite the user-safe structure.
4. Founder Background and Market Impact
CEO Patrick Gruhn, former head of FTX Europe, positions UpsideOnly as a regulated alternative to loss-making retail platforms. The Nasdaq-listed firm trades near a $22 million market capitalization and plans a broader rollout in late 2026, with uptake likely influenced by both its AI edge and Gruhn’s FTX connections.
