Datavault AI to Acquire NYIAX in Strategic Move to Expand Blockchain Exchange Capabilities

Datavault AI has signed a letter of intent to acquire NYIAX Inc., a strategic move that would significantly expand the company's blockchain and exchange capabilities across multiple industries. The proposed acquisition, subject to Nasdaq approval and execution of a definitive agreement, would integrate NYIAX's blockchain-powered exchange, patent portfolio, marketing-as-a-service agency, and advertising unit into Datavault AI's expanding ecosystem.

The deal builds on an existing licensing partnership for Datavault AI's ADIO ultrasonic technology and will enhance its patented Information Data Exchange platform by adding transparent, automated trading capabilities. This integration represents a significant advancement in data monetization technology, combining financial-market precision with next-generation, privacy-first technologies. The acquisition positions Datavault AI to redefine how businesses value and trade digital assets across multiple sectors.

Datavault AI plans to launch several specialized exchanges following the acquisition, including the International Elements Exchange, International NIL Exchange, and American Political Exchange over the next two quarters. These platforms will leverage the combined technologies to create new marketplaces for trading various digital assets and rights. The company's existing Information Data Exchange platform already enables Digital Twins and licensing of name, image, and likeness by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata objects.

CEO Nathaniel Bradley emphasized that the combination positions Datavault AI to redefine data monetization across industries, while NYIAX CEO Teri Gallo described the merger as "a new era" that unites financial-market precision with advanced technologies. The acquisition represents a significant step in Datavault AI's strategy to lead in AI-driven data valuation and monetization within the Web 3.0 environment. The company's cloud-based platform serves multiple industries including sports & entertainment, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy through its comprehensive suite of customizable technologies.

The integration of NYIAX's blockchain exchange technology with Datavault AI's existing platform could accelerate the adoption of secure, transparent digital asset trading across global markets. This development comes as businesses increasingly seek reliable methods to monetize digital assets while maintaining data integrity and privacy protections. The combined entity's technology suite offers AI and machine learning automation, third-party integration, detailed analytics, marketing automation, and advertising monitoring capabilities that could transform how organizations manage and profit from their digital assets.
