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, positioning Perpetuals to address a large, underserved market of firms seeking scalable AI capabilities with institutional-grade security and data sovereignty.
The initiative reflects growing demand among financial institutions for AI solutions that protect sensitive trading algorithms and proprietary data. By deploying AI agents on-premises, firms can leverage machine learning for pattern recognition, risk assessment, and strategy optimization while maintaining full control over their data. Perpetuals' approach contrasts with cloud-based AI services that often require data to leave the organization's infrastructure, exposing it to potential security risks or regulatory compliance issues.
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. 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. 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.
This strategic move comes as financial firms increasingly prioritize data sovereignty and security in their AI adoption. Regulated entities, particularly in Europe, face strict requirements under frameworks like GDPR and MiFID II regarding data handling and cross-border transfers. Perpetuals' on-premises solution allows these firms to comply with regulatory mandates while still benefiting from advanced AI capabilities. The Forgentiq platform's agentic AI approach—where specialized AI agents perform distinct tasks such as market analysis or risk modeling—enables firms to customize their AI workflows without exposing core intellectual property.
The partnership with Younet AI signals Perpetuals' commitment to integrating cutting-edge AI technologies into its existing infrastructure. By licensing the Forgentiq platform, Perpetuals can offer financial institutions a turnkey solution that combines its trading infrastructure expertise with Younet AI's agentic framework. This collaboration aims to accelerate time-to-value for clients seeking to deploy AI in their trading operations.
