Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT), a company specializing in AI-driven data monetization and tokenization, has completed its acquisition of NYIAX, Inc., a contract management exchange and operator of a blockchain-enabled marketplace for trading guaranteed contractual assets. The deal, announced via press release, brings institutional-grade exchange technology, blockchain settlement infrastructure, and a proprietary platform protected by four issued U.S. patents, with a fifth patent application filed.
The acquisition is expected to play a key role in Datavault AI's tokenization pipeline, expanding its capabilities from asset origination and AI-driven valuation through tokenization, commercialization, exchange infrastructure, and secondary-market participation. According to the company, the combined infrastructure will support specialized exchanges across emerging asset categories, including the International Elements Exchange (IEE) for tokenized critical minerals and commodities, Project Democracy and the American Political Exchange (APE), athlete NIL marketplaces, healthcare and enterprise data exchanges, and intellectual property and media rights marketplaces.
This move is significant as it positions Datavault AI to capitalize on the growing trend of real-world asset tokenization, a market that is expected to see substantial growth as blockchain technology becomes more integrated into traditional finance and commerce. By adding NYIAX's exchange capabilities, Datavault AI can offer a full suite of services for tokenizing and trading assets, potentially making it a key player in the emerging digital asset economy.
Furthermore, the acquisition brings Collective Audience's commercialization, audience development, and market activation capabilities into Datavault AI, building on the companies' collaboration that began in March 2025. This could enhance Datavault AI's ability to bring its tokenization solutions to market and attract users to its platforms.
Datavault AI's platform serves multiple industries, including high-performance computing software licensing for sports & entertainment, events & venues, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy. The Information Data Exchange enables Digital Twins and licensing of name, image, and likeness by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata, fostering responsible AI with integrity.

As Datavault AI integrates NYIAX's infrastructure, it may set a precedent for how AI and blockchain can be combined to create efficient and secure markets for a wide range of assets.
