PHILADELPHIA, PA — Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) is prioritizing the commercialization of digital-asset products and infrastructure during the third quarter while tying several of its planned exchange platforms to the outcome of pending federal cryptocurrency legislation.
The company outlined operational goals that include expanding its tokenization business, advancing a nationwide edge computing network, completing previously announced acquisitions and preparing digital-asset exchanges that would launch if U.S. regulators establish a broader legal framework for tokenized assets.
A central objective is commercializing Project Qestrel, a tokenization initiative tied to an approximately $10 billion nationwide edge infrastructure buildout being developed with Available Infrastructure. Datavault AI expects the program’s first phase, valued at about $1 billion, and its initial token offering to be completed during the third quarter.
Under its agreement with Available Infrastructure, the company expects to generate revenue by providing tokenization, valuation, clearing and exchange services.
Several planned exchange platforms—including the Information Data Exchange (IDE), American Political Exchange (APEX), NIL Vault and a proposed Scilex Biotech Exchange—remain contingent on future U.S. digital-asset regulation. The company indicated the platforms are intended to support trading of tokenized data, digital twins, name, image and likeness rights, and biotechnology-related assets if a federal regulatory framework is enacted.
Datavault AI also plans to continue deploying its SanQtum edge computing infrastructure, which it has previously targeted for expansion into 100 U.S. cities during the second half of 2026. The network is designed to support edge data centers and cybersecurity applications.
Other third-quarter priorities include completing the previously disclosed acquisitions of NYIAX Inc. and CyberCatch, introducing its Data Vault Bank brand through the planned acquisition and renaming of a U.S. bank with a digital-asset charter, expanding international blockchain clearing relationships and monetizing several real-world asset tokenization programs.
Nathaniel T. Bradley, the company’s chief executive officer, characterized the quarter as a period focused on commercial execution.
“We have already begun commercializing the $QEST program, continue our SanQtum edge buildout, and advance the exchange platforms we have in development as the U.S. regulatory framework for digital assets takes shape,” Bradley said.
The company’s plans are partly tied to the fate of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, known as the CLARITY Act. The legislation passed the U.S. House of Representatives in July 2025 and was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar in June 2026 but has not received final Senate approval or been enacted into law.
Datavault AI noted that expansion of trading capabilities for several of its platforms depends on whether a federal digital-asset market structure is ultimately adopted, adding that there is no assurance the legislation will become law or take a form that supports the company’s plans.
