Perpetuals.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: PDC) and the European Institute of Management (EIM) have launched a joint research group that pairs more than 20 doctoral researchers with Perpetuals to develop AI-powered trading models combining machine learning and crowd intelligence. The initiative, announced in a press release, is expected to run for at least three years, with more than half of the participating researchers currently employed by Perpetuals.
The researchers will have access to Perpetuals’ proprietary trading datasets and live venue data, focusing on behavioral finance, trader performance classification, market microstructure, and model risk. This collaboration aims to bridge academic research and practical trading applications, potentially leading to more sophisticated and risk-aware trading strategies.
Perpetuals.com is a fintech company that develops AI-powered trading products and prediction markets, with operations across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Its mission is to reduce risk by empowering retail users with intuitive, secure, and efficient trading experiences across multiple asset classes. The company’s proprietary trading platform, Kronos X, combines advanced AI and data analysis. It is trained on billions of trades, monitors market activity in real time, identifies patterns for trading and risk decisions, and provides multi-asset coverage with self-clearing blockchain-based settlement. The company’s licensed European Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) infrastructure and Kronos X multi-asset exchange platform operate with full MiFID II, MiCA, DORA, and EMIR compliance.
The joint research group’s work could have significant implications for the financial industry. By combining machine learning with crowd intelligence, the models developed could offer new insights into market behavior and improve risk management. For retail traders, this might translate into more reliable tools and platforms. The involvement of doctoral researchers, many already employed by Perpetuals, suggests a deep integration of academic rigor with commercial application, which could accelerate innovation in AI-driven trading.
The collaboration also highlights the growing trend of partnerships between fintech companies and academic institutions to advance AI research. As regulatory frameworks evolve, such initiatives may help ensure that new trading technologies are developed responsibly and in compliance with standards. For investors, the success of this research group could enhance Perpetuals’ competitive edge in the AI trading space, potentially impacting its market position.
