Perpetuals Rolls Out UpsideOnly AI Platform for Retail Crypto Trading

On May 19, 2026, Perpetuals.com officially launched UpsideOnly, a no-capital prediction platform that converts retail market calls into live trades using the company’s capital. Former FTX Europe head Patrick Gruhn committed $100 million to seed the initial trading pool and will split profits 50/50 with users whose AI-rated strategies are funded. Powered by BayesShield AI trained on 22 billion retail trades, the platform absorbs all losses while allowing users to submit calls across crypto, stocks, commodities and forex. The rollout marks the first public deployment of Gruhn’s crowdsourced model and could increase retail participation in BTCUSD markets, though regulatory and risk questions persist.
