Perpetuals.com Ltd (NASDAQ: PDC) has announced the launch of Barrier Futures, a proprietary derivatives product that is compliant with the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II). The product is positioned as a regulated alternative to offshore perpetual futures and retail contracts for difference (CFDs), targeting markets that collectively represent multi-hundred-trillion dollars in annual notional volume.
According to the announcement, Barrier Futures offer defined-risk positions without margin calls, addressing a key pain point for traders in the volatile cryptocurrency and derivatives markets. The platform is designed to enable brokers to participate through a scalable B2B model that includes trading fee revenue shares, spread participation, and white-label licensing. The platform is expected to go live for qualified brokers in March 2026, with initial partnerships targeted for the first quarter of that year.
Perpetuals.com Ltd is a financial technology company that combines blockchain infrastructure and artificial intelligence to transform digital asset trading. The company develops and operates Kronos X(R), a proprietary multi-asset exchange platform and blockchain-based settlement solution fully compliant with European regulations including MiFID II, MiCA, DORA, and EMIR. The company 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.
The Perpetuals.com team previously developed early regulated tokenized financial products, including Pre-IPO contracts for Coinbase, Airbnb, and Robinhood, as reported by Forbes, as well as tokenized stocks traded on major exchanges. 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 launch of Barrier Futures comes at a time when the global derivatives market continues to expand, with increasing demand for regulated products that offer transparency and risk management. The product's defined-risk structure and lack of margin calls could attract both retail and institutional investors seeking exposure to digital assets without the complexities of traditional perpetual futures.
