\nDatavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data valuation and monetization, today announced a strategic licensing agreement with NYIAX, the Nasdaq-powered trading platform. This agreement integrates Datavault AI\u2019s patented ADIO\u00ae technology into NYIAX\u2019s cutting-edge advertising exchange, creating one of the world\u2019s first fully functional ultrasonic advertising platforms. Technical integration is expected to be completed in Q2 2025, with combined product offerings available for customer deployments in 2H 2025.\n<\/p>\n
\nThis pioneering collaboration leverages ADIO\u2019s unique capability to deliver data over sound, introducing a novel advertising category that seamlessly engages both venue-based and broadcast audiences. By embedding inaudible data within audio streams, ADIO-powered advertisements reach consumers in stadiums, theaters, retail spaces, and across broadcast networks, all while maintaining strict privacy protections.\n<\/p>\n
Revolutionizing Digital Advertising with Privacy-First Innovation<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
\n\u201cThis agreement with NYIAX strengthens our core mission of expanding the Information Data Exchange\u00ae (IDE) while simultaneously introducing a transformative, licensing-based revenue stream for Datavault AI,\u201d said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. \u201cBy entrusting NYIAX with the commercialization of ADIO technology, we empower advertisers to tap into a medium that seamlessly bridges digital and physical experiences, offering unparalleled reach, security, and efficiency.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nThrough this exclusive licensing deal, Datavault AI provides NYIAX with cyber-secure, patent-protected ADIO technology, enabling advertisers to purchase ultrasonic ad inventory as easily as traditional digital formats. Integrated with NYIAX\u2019s blockchain-backed platform, ADIO represents a paradigm shift away from outdated cookie-based advertising models. Instead, it prioritizes consumer privacy, autonomy and security by eliminating intrusive tracking methods and delivering targeted content through sound.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe integration of ADIO into NYIAX\u2019s platform provides advertisers with a frictionless way to list, price, and trade ultrasonic ad inventory with the same efficiency and transparency as other media assets. For brands, ADIO delivers a game-changing opportunity to connect with consumers in real-time, in highly targeted environments, without compromising privacy.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAuthenticated scalability and direct consumer engagement are no longer optional for brands seeking competitive differentiation,\u201d said Joseph Stonbely II, Founder & Executive Producer of Mission: IGNITION (inc.) \u201cWe\u2019ve long considered the NYIAX platform our most essential front-line resource for delivering meaningful, value-engineered brand experiences with partners like Marriott Bonvoy and LVMH. The addition of Datavault AI now brings full-circle capabilities to engage consumers with relevance and impact \u2014 in-venue, on-site, and in the critical real-time moment.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
