Perpetuals.com Ltd (NASDAQ: PDC) has announced a strategic initiative to provide on-premises artificial intelligence infrastructure specifically designed for financial institutions including hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and digital asset managers. The company has entered into a services agreement with Younet AI to license the Forgentiq.ai platform, which enables quantitative research, market analysis, and trading strategy development through specialized AI agents operating within secure client environments.
The initiative addresses a significant market need among financial firms that require advanced AI capabilities but are reluctant to relinquish control of proprietary information to cloud-based solutions. By deploying AI infrastructure on-premises, Perpetuals.com enables these firms to maintain institutional-grade security and data sovereignty while accessing scalable AI tools for sophisticated financial analysis. This approach allows firms to analyze sensitive trading data and develop proprietary strategies without exposing their intellectual property to external platforms.
The Forgentiq platform is designed to support quantitative research and trading strategy development through specialized AI agents that operate within the client's own secure environment. This deployment model is particularly relevant for financial institutions operating under strict regulatory frameworks, including European regulations such as MiFID II, MiCA, DORA, and EMIR that govern financial market infrastructure and digital assets.
Perpetuals.com's existing infrastructure includes Kronos X, a proprietary multi-asset exchange platform and blockchain-based settlement solution that operates from Equinix FR2 in Frankfurt, Germany. The company's background in analyzing millions of retail trade transactions through machine learning has informed the development of AI-powered risk intelligence designed to analyze trading patterns in real-time. This experience positions the company to understand the specific AI needs of financial institutions operating in regulated environments.
The strategic initiative represents Perpetuals.com's expansion beyond its core blockchain and exchange operations into the growing market for institutional AI solutions. Financial firms increasingly require sophisticated analytical tools to process vast amounts of market data, identify patterns, and develop competitive trading strategies. However, concerns about data security, proprietary information protection, and regulatory compliance have limited adoption of cloud-based AI solutions in the financial sector.
By offering on-premises deployment through the Forgentiq platform, Perpetuals.com addresses these concerns while providing financial institutions with access to advanced AI capabilities. The company's regulatory compliance experience, particularly with European financial regulations, provides additional credibility for institutions operating in heavily regulated markets. This initiative positions Perpetuals.com to serve what it describes as a large, underserved market of firms seeking scalable AI capabilities with institutional-grade security requirements.
