The Albany Gazette - Perpetuals Featured in CoinDesk for its AI-Powered Derivatives Platform

Perpetual Markets Ltd. was founded by Patrick Gruhn and Robin Matzke, former FTX Europe trading specialists and digital asset entrepreneurs, and acquired by Earlyworks Co., Ltd. The CoinDesk coverage recognizes Perpetuals' use of advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to enhance traditional crypto derivative products and to embed fairness, transparency, and risk intelligence into core trading services.

"Being featured in CoinDesk reflects growing interest in our platform," said Patrick Gruhn, Co-CEO of Perpetuals. "Our mission is to bridge the gap between traditional financial derivatives infrastructure and cutting-edge blockchain AI systems - delivering products that empower traders and institutions with improved transparency and risk management."

The CoinDesk article highlights that Perpetuals leverages AI models to enable 24/7 regulated trading, self-clearing execution, and blockchain-based settlement infrastructure. These capabilities are designed to address inefficiencies in the derivatives space.

Key platform differentiators include:

• AI-Enhanced Derivatives Trading: Machine learning models trained on market data to analyze risk, liquidity, and trader behavior.

• Regulated and Compliant Framework: Engineered to meet evolving global regulatory standards while providing robust risk management.

• Blockchain Settlement: Decentralized settlement infrastructure enhancing transparency, auditability, and security.

• Nasdaq Listing: Perpetuals' stock is traded on Nasdaq under the ticker PDC.

Perpetuals continues to invest in expanding its product suite, with plans to introduce additional AI-driven derivatives, tokenized structured products, and hybrid instruments that combine traditional financial engineering with decentralized ledger technologies.
