Datavault AI has announced an agreement with Sports Illustrated to explore a potential collaboration on a digital asset exchange focused on athlete name, image and likeness monetization. The parties will evaluate development of a platform powered by Datavault AI proprietary, quantum-secure technology stack, including its patented Data Vault, DataScore, and DataValue AI agents, smart contracts, and the Nasdaq Financial Framework-compatible Information Data Exchange, with the goal of a potential commercial launch in the second half of 2026.
This initiative aligns with accelerating regulatory clarity in the U.S. digital asset market and growing NIL and global sports endorsement opportunities, positioning the company to pursue compliant, scalable tokenization and trading of NIL assets for athletes, brands, agencies, and investors. The Information Data Exchange enables Digital Twins, licensing of name, image, and likeness by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata objects, fostering responsible AI with integrity.
