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 initiative aims to develop a platform powered by Datavault AI’s 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. The goal is a potential commercial launch in the second half of 2026.
The company stated that this initiative aligns with accelerating regulatory clarity in the U.S. digital asset market and growing NIL and global sports endorsement opportunities. This positions Datavault AI to pursue compliant, scalable tokenization and trading of NIL assets for athletes, brands, agencies, and investors. The Information Data Exchange enables licensing of name, image, and likeness by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata objects, fostering responsible AI with integrity.
Datavault AI’s technology suite offers AI and Machine Learning automation, third-party integration, detailed analytics and data, marketing automation, and advertising monitoring. The company’s cloud-based platform provides comprehensive solutions serving multiple industries, including HPC software licensing for sports & entertainment, events & venues, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy.
