PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data visualization, valuation, and monetization, today announces it has begun collaborating with NFHITS to pioneer a proprietary Web 3.0, minting and blockchain-based music and content distribution network.
NFHITS along with its monetization partner, Music Dash’s mission is to lead the music and film industries into their next era — where creativity, technology, and opportunity unite. It believes in empowering artists, filmmakers, creators, and entrepreneurs worldwide with tools that remove barriers, protect originality, and fuel innovation.
NFHITS and Music Dash’s current distribution network includes Apple Music and iTunes, AMI Entertainment, AWA, Bitmoji, Boomplay, Bose, Deutsche Telekom Austria and Netherlands, DiGi, Facebook, Flow, GraceNote, iHeartRadio, Instagram, iMusica, Naver Live, Shazam, Snapchat, Sonos, Soundcloud, Spotify, TikTok, Tidal, and more.
Together, the companies aim to establish fair, transparent, and automated monetization powered by Datavault AI’s unprecedented experiential, minting and exchange capabilities. To accelerate this process, Datavault AI is also integrating its VerifyU and ADIO into NFHITS distribution frameworks to authenticate artists and music rights, protect royalties, reduce digital piracy, and ensure distribution integrity while creating new revenue stream opportunities including digital collectibles and objectified music assets.
Datavault AI’s and NFHITS’s distribution infrastructure, which converges blockchain and AI, reimagines the current streaming and distribution models offering artists key benefits, such as:
- The ability to exclusively distribute music, videos, independent films, and music videos
- Protect artists’ creative and intellectual property and metadata to secure future royalties
- Deliver artists’ music by incorporating Datavault AI’s ADIO technology through the audio systems at a variety of entertainment venues and public places
“Blockchain has matured and now, in combination with AI, we have the infrastructure to take artists’ content streaming mainstream with this technological breakthrough,” said Bob Shami, founder and CEO, NFHITS. “The music industry and content creators have been searching for ways to maximize their revenue. This new format provides the groundwork for a new way to increase profitability and hope for emerging content creators to grow and sustain their careers.”
The two companies are also considering deploying NFHITS digital music delivery into shopping markets, restaurants, stores, etc., using Datavault AI’s ADIO tone technology, which delivers inaudible sounds that send information to listeners’ devices with special offers such as exclusive content, merchandise, or discounted prices.
“Datavault A is dedicated to helping businesses and industries manage, secure, and leverage their data assets to maximize their monetization potential, but that really starts with understanding data’s value in whatever form it takes,” said Nate Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. “Our collaboration with NFHITS holds tremendous potential to create annual recurring revenue for artists, promoters and the events industry which continues to be challenged in compensating artists for their art and shielding their digital assets from their unauthorized use. The implementation of VerifyU, ADIO, and our NYIAX powered exchanges offer solutions for NFHITS’ ecosystem that demonstrates how we work with partners to transform industries and create revenue in places no one else can unlock.”
