Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) Partners with Max International AG to Launch Swiss Digital RWA Exchange, Overcoming Barriers to Institutional Tokenization

Landmark Collaboration Harnesses Patented AI, Swiss Regulatory Fortress, and Fiduciary Expertise to Tokenize $1 Trillion1 + Global RWA Market, Anchored in Zurich’s Gold Hub

BEAVERTON, Ore., Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT), a pioneer in patented AI-driven blockchain for secure data and asset monetization, today announces a strategic partnership with Max International AG as its licensed partner. This collaboration will deploy and manage a Switzerland-based Swiss Digital RWA Exchange aimed at maximizing the advantages presented by Switzerland’s robust digital regulatory frameworks. Switzerland is the home of SIX Digital Exchange (SDX)—NASDAQ’s longstanding technological ally for digital asset infrastructure, the world’s leading exchange for digital assets.

The partnership targets institutional adoption of Real World Assets (RWAs) by resolving three critical barriers: regulatory uncertainty, technological scalability, and fiduciary trust. It forms the foundation for Datavault AI’s International Elements Exchange—tokenizing commodities like unmined gold and copper—and the International NIL Exchange for name, image, and likeness rights.

Zurich, Switzerland’s financial powerhouse amplifies the platform’s scale: Handling over 70% of global gold refining and trading², it provides an ideal gateway for RWA tokenization. Datavault AI’s global patent portfolio—covering secure data tokenization, digital twins, and automated compliance across U.S., Europe, and Asia—ensures proprietary enforcement within this regulated ecosystem, enabling tamper-proof, scalable trades.

Key competitive edges include:

• AI-Driven Market Efficiency: Datavault AI’s DataValue^® and DataScore^® systems deliver transparent, algorithmic valuations for illiquid assets, boosting liquidity and reducing opacity risks.

• Regulatory Fortress: Max International AG supplies Swiss domicile and networks for regulated ledger-based securities issuance and exchange.

• Fiduciary Trust via Human Capital: Featuring a team of experienced financial services personnel and licensed “Fit and Proper” experts, ensuring governance meets Swiss private wealth standards for de-risked institutional capital.

This synergy merges Datavault AI’s patents and NYIAX-derived NASDAQ rigor with Max International AG’s Swiss pedigree, which we believe positions the exchange as a leader in high-value asset tokenization. The immediate milestone is the first regulatory-compliant trade on stablecoin platforms, independent of global shifts like the U.S. Genius Act, thanks to Switzerland’s robust DLT framework.

With tokenized assets projected to surpass $1 trillion¹ by 2030, we believe this venture underscores Datavault AI’s global enterprise value through compliant, automated solutions for complex RWA and NIL monetization.

“We are excited to collaborate with Datavault AI on this institutionally targeted initiative,” said Joachim Wegmann, Managing Director of Max International AG. “By integrating patented technology with our Swiss regulatory anchor and fiduciary expertise, we are creating a platform that resolves adoption barriers and sets the standard for sustainable, long-term tokenization of the world’s most significant assets.”

Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, stated: “We have been approached by large corporations and governments to address growing demand for blockchain-driven solutions to RWA and NIL monetization—making the complex consumable and giving way to a simple tokenized, automated, fail-proof compliant scale. This partnership with Max International AG propels our exchanges into a trusted Swiss hub, unlocking massive global value.”
