Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) has appointed former NHL Hall‑of‑Famer Jeremy Roenick to head the development of its International Name‑Image‑Likeness (NIL) Exchange, a platform that will tokenize athlete rights and enable real‑time, data‑driven monetization of sports and entertainment assets.
Roenick’s 20‑year NHL career and 2024 Hall‑of‑Fame induction give him a deep network of athletes, teams and sponsors. By placing him at the helm of the NIL initiative, Datavault signals a focused push into a market projected to reach multi‑trillion‑dollar valuations and seeks to accelerate market penetration through his credibility and industry relationships.
The NIL Exchange will be built on Datavault’s patented Information Data Exchange® (IDE) platform and will integrate the company’s AI agents—DataVault, DataScore® and DataValue®—to provide real‑time analytics and pricing. The platform will run on the Nasdaq Financial Framework and the New York Interactive Advertising Exchange (NYAIX), giving it a robust, regulated infrastructure for tokenized asset trading.
In Q3 2025 Datavault reported revenue of $2.9 million, up 148% year‑over‑year from $1.2 million in Q3 2024, while the company posted a net loss of $33 million. Management has raised its fiscal‑2025 revenue guidance to a low end of $30 million and its fiscal‑2026 guidance to exceed $200 million, reflecting confidence in the growth potential of its software‑centric model.
The appointment underscores Datavault’s transition from a hardware‑centric business to a high‑margin software and data‑monetization enterprise. By targeting the rapidly expanding NIL market and positioning itself against decentralized crypto‑native competitors, the company aims to capture new revenue streams and strengthen its competitive position in the evolving sports‑tech landscape.
