Nasdaq FinTech Perpetuals protects traders from liquidation losses – for example, in Bitcoin derivatives trading ( (C) Tasso Enzweiler)
Nasdaq exchange company under German management focuses on B2B broker model – platform goes live in March 2026 with active partner pipeline
Tokyo/Frankfurt, February 11, 2026 – Perpetuals.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: PDC) announces the launch of “Barrier Futures” – a new, proprietary derivative product designed to capture market share in global markets:
– in the perpetual futures market, where unregulated offshore exchanges trade $100-300 billion daily, and – in the contract for difference (CFD) market, which comprises over 6.8 million active accounts worldwide. Together, these markets represent a nominal annual trading volume of more than $250 billion.
Investment highlights: o Market entry: First MiFID II-compliant alternative to offshore perpetual swaps and retail CFDs o Revenue model: Recurring B2B revenue through participation in trading fees, spreads, and white-label licensing.
o Timeline: Platform available to qualified brokers from March 2026, with initial partnerships expected in the first quarter. o Competitive advantage: Regulated MTF infrastructure eliminates costly margin engines and liquidation systems for broker partners. Closing a structural market gap
Barrier futures are the first regulated product designed to completely replace two financial instruments that have come under increasing pressure: – Perpetual futures, which dominate leveraged cryptocurrency trading, subject their users to liquidation cascades, 8-hour financing fees, and counterparty risks from offshore operators.
– CFDs, which account for 51% of equity derivative positions in Europe according to ESMA, face increasing regulatory restrictions and inherent broker conflicts, where CFD providers essentially profit from customer losses.
“We developed barrier futures to make both categories obsolete,” said Patrick Gruhn, founder and CEO of Perpetuals.com. “Traders get positions with risk without margin calls. Brokers get regulatory coverage without operational complexity. The result is a product that solves the problems where perpetual swaps and CFDs currently fail.”
Scalable B2B monetization Perpetuals.com generates recurring revenue through various cash flows: revenue sharing on trading fees from broker partners, participation in bid-ask spreads, licensing of premium features (analytics, social trading), and referral commissions from user-generated trading links.
A white-label deployment allows partners to brand and distribute under the company’s regulatory umbrella, minimizing customer acquisition costs while accelerating time-to-market for brokers.
“Our API integration is as simple as stock trading–no liquidation engines, no 24/7 margin operations, no insurance fund liabilities,” Gruhn added. “Brokers can launch within weeks–not months. Our pipeline response already shows the demand.”
Regulatory and operational advantages Perpetuals.com operates the IT infrastructure for a CySEC-authorized multilateral trading facility (MTF) in full MiFID II compliance at its data center in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The barrier futures include mandatory stop-loss barriers upon entry. These stop-loss barriers limit the maximum loss without margin calls or forced liquidations. Zero financing fees preserve the position value over time, and neutral MTF execution eliminates the broker-versus-customer conflict that builds up on CFD platforms.
Institutional investors, asset managers, and regulated funds that were previously excluded from using perpetual futures due to compliance requirements can now access barrier futures through this framework. Product Roadmap
Short-term enhancements include event-based trading with limited barriers (earnings, FOMC, ETF approvals), preconfigured technical pattern templates, social trading with viral referral tracking, and AI-driven entry signals supported by proprietary MTF order flow data. About Perpetuals.com Group
