Perpetuals.com Ltd (NASDAQ: PDC) announced a strategic initiative to deploy on-premises, agentic artificial intelligence infrastructure for hedge funds, proprietary trading firms and digital asset managers, aimed at enabling advanced data analysis without requiring firms to relinquish control of proprietary information. The company entered a services agreement with Younet AI to license its Forgentiq.ai platform, designed to support quantitative research, market analysis and trading strategy development through specialized AI agents operating within secure client environments.
The initiative positions Perpetuals to address a large, underserved market of firms seeking scalable AI capabilities with institutional-grade security and data sovereignty. By deploying AI on-premises, clients can leverage advanced analytics while maintaining full control over sensitive trading algorithms and proprietary data, a critical requirement for many financial institutions concerned about data privacy and regulatory compliance.
Perpetuals.com Ltd is a financial technology company combining blockchain infrastructure and artificial intelligence to transform digital asset trading. The company develops and operates Kronos X, a proprietary multi-asset exchange platform and blockchain-based settlement solution fully compliant with European regulations, including MiFID II, MiCA, DORA, and EMIR. It provides financial market infrastructure as a service from Equinix FR2 in Frankfurt, Germany, alongside Eurex and Xetra, enabling clients to operate 24/7 trading of crypto spot, derivatives, tokenized securities, and structured products.
Building on machine learning analysis of millions of retail trade transactions, the company has developed AI-powered risk intelligence designed to analyze trading patterns in real-time. The Forgentiq platform extends this capability by offering specialized AI agents that can be tailored to specific research and trading needs, operating directly within the client's own infrastructure to ensure data never leaves the secure environment.
The announcement underscores a growing trend among financial firms to adopt AI solutions that do not compromise data security. With regulatory scrutiny intensifying and proprietary trading strategies becoming increasingly valuable, on-premises AI deployment offers a compelling alternative to cloud-based solutions. Perpetuals' move could set a precedent for other fintech firms seeking to balance innovation with security.
