Perpetuals.com protects small investors: New AI prevents 92% of crypto derivative losses

Global breakthrough: BayesShield(TM) technology from Nasdaq-listed Perpetuals.com detects and stops loss-making trades - investors can now be largely protected from stock market losses

TOKYO, Japan - February 4, 2026 - Perpetuals.com Ltd. (Nasdaq: PDC) is a regulated FinTech company that combines blockchain infrastructure and artificial intelligence to transform digital asset trading. Perpetuals.com announced yesterday the successful completion of the BayesShield(TM) AI pilot program (the "BayesShield(TM) AI Pilot Program").

Groundbreaking results: 92% of losing trades identified Result: 92% of losing retail investor trades in the BTC-USD-PERP perpetual futures market were filtered out based on backtests in which the system was tested against actual trading decisions made by retail investors over the past year.

Validation through extensive data analysis in the Bitcoin futures market The BayesShield(TM) AI Pilot Program validated the company's proprietary machine learning models by analyzing historical trading activity of retail investors in the Bitcoin perpetual futures market. When applied to 12 months of real retail investor trading data, the AI system successfully identified the vast majority (92%) of trades that would have ultimately resulted in losses for retail investors.

Paradigm shift in investor protection: Statement from the CEO "These pilot program results exceed our expectations and confirm years of research on retail investor trading behavior," said Patrick Gruhn, CEO and founder of Perpetuals.com. "The data shows that the vast majority of losses incurred by retail investors in leveraged derivatives markets are predictable and preventable. BayesShield(TM) represents a paradigm shift in how trading platforms can protect their users while maintaining market integrity." A protective shield in turbulent crypto markets

Amid the current downturn in cryptocurrency prices, the BayesShield(TM) AI pilot program demonstrates a very practical benefit. Its predictive intelligence can block the majority of loss-making trades before they are executed, providing protection in turbulent markets while strengthening the fundamental robustness and long-term growth potential of cryptocurrencies.

Real-time analysis of trading patterns and market sentiment The BayesShield(TM) AI pilot program analyzes specific profit and loss profiles of individual traders and identifies patterns in collective market sentiment to calculate the probability of profit/loss in real time. The system is designed to help product issuers--such as option writers, market makers, and derivatives platforms--optimize hedging strategies while providing enhanced protection for retail investors. Transforming the derivatives market: From loss model to sustainable trading

"The retail derivatives market has historically been based on a model in which the majority of participants lose money," said Patrick Gruhn. "BayesShield(TM) fundamentally changes this dynamic. By predicting which trades are likely to fail before they are executed, we can create trading environments that are both more ethical and more sustainable for all participants."

Impressive data set: Training with billions of trading transactions Building on the success of the pilot program, Perpetuals.com has begun full development of the BayesShield(TM) AI pilot platform. The production system is being trained on NVIDIA hardware using one of the largest data sets ever compiled for retail investor trading: o Over 11.7 billion retail investor trades spanning several years of market activity. o More than 1 million unique user trading histories, providing statistically significant behavioral patterns. o Cryptocurrency spot markets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and major altcoins. o Cryptocurrency derivatives, including perpetual futures, options, and leveraged products. o Traditional stock markets, enabling cross-asset pattern recognition and model validation.

Strategic integration and platform consolidation The announcement coincides with the successful completion of Perpetuals.com's technical integration following its business combination with EarlyWorks Co., Ltd. This integration consolidated technology stacks, operational infrastructure, and data systems into a unified platform. The redesigned website at perpetuals.com now serves as a one-stop shop for all products and services, including the Kronos X (R) Exchange suite, Perpetuals Vault custody solutions, Ledgera cross-chain infrastructure, PerpetualPay.net, and tokenization services, reflecting the company's expanded capabilities and unified brand identity.

Regulatory engagement and commercial prospects The BayesShield(TM) AI pilot program positions Perpetuals.com as a company addressing systemic inefficiencies and ethical concerns in retail trader derivatives trading--a segment that is facing increasing regulatory scrutiny due to high loss rates among retail traders worldwide.

Perpetuals.com plans to deploy the BayesShield(TM) AI pilot program in its regulated trading infrastructure, including a third-party operated, CySEC-authorized MiFID II-licensed multilateral trading platform, with broad commercial rollout planned for the second half of the year.
