Perpetuals.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: PDC) announced a strategic initiative to deploy an on-premises artificial intelligence infrastructure platform tailored for hedge funds, proprietary trading firms and digital asset managers. The platform enables clients to leverage proprietary data without relinquishing control, addressing a growing demand for data-sovereign AI solutions within the financial services sector.
Powered by Younet AI's licensed “Forgentiq.ai” technology, the platform is designed to deliver secure, purpose-built large language models for quantitative research, market analysis and trading strategy development. By hosting the AI infrastructure on-premises, Perpetuals.com allows financial firms to maintain complete control over sensitive data while benefiting from advanced AI capabilities. This approach mitigates risks associated with cloud-based AI, such as data breaches and regulatory compliance issues, which are critical concerns for financial institutions handling proprietary trading strategies and client information.
The announcement comes as the financial industry increasingly adopts AI for competitive advantage, but faces challenges around data privacy and security. Perpetuals.com's platform positions the company to capture a niche market of firms that require both cutting-edge AI tools and strict data sovereignty. The company already 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, Perpetuals.com has developed AI-powered risk intelligence designed to analyze trading patterns in real-time. The new on-premises AI platform extends this capability, offering firms the ability to build and deploy custom AI models without relying on external servers.

The initiative reflects a broader trend in fintech where firms seek to harness AI while maintaining control over their data. As regulations tighten around data usage and AI governance, on-premises solutions may become increasingly attractive. Perpetuals.com's move could set a precedent for how financial institutions integrate AI without compromising security or compliance.
