New York and Philadelphia Edge Network Activation Positions Datavault AI to Capture Significant Share of Insurance and Financial Sectors, Healthcare Industry and Enterprise Opportunities with Real-Time, Zero-Trust Quantum Encrypted Data Tokenization

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 8, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq:DVLT), today highlighted the strategic importance of its New York and Philadelphia edge network deployment with Available Infrastructure's SanQtum AI platform. This GPU-powered, zero-trust edge infrastructure features national security-grade cybersecurity and enables instant data monetization - positioning Datavault AI to address a market opportunity exceeding $2 billion in each selected location with potential annual recurring revenue (ARR) within the Philadelphia and New York metropolitan regions alone, with strong demand and interest within the RWA, digital twins that have strong applicability within the insurance and financial services sectors.

The Philadelphia and New York installation, part of Datavault AI's initial multi-city rollout and planned expansion to 100 cities nationwide in 2026, integrates SanQtum AI Enterprise Units directly into Datavault AI's patented Information Data Exchange DataScore and Datavalue AI agents. Operating within SanQtum's private, quantum-resistant edge environment, the platform allows real-time data scoring, tokenization at birth, and enterprise-grade AI processing without reliance on public cloud infrastructure. This breakthrough capability eliminates latency, reduces security exposure, and transforms raw data into authenticated, tradable digital assets at the moment of creation.

Philadelphia and New York's robust insurance and financial ecosystems - home to major institutions driving trillions in managed assets and premiums - generate vast volumes of high-value data in areas such as risk assessment, fraud detection, claims processing, and personalized financial services. By deploying SanQtum's advanced cybersecurity features, including zero-trust architecture and real-time threat isolation, Datavault AI enables secure, compliant data commerce that meets the stringent requirements of regulated industries. Company estimates indicate an addressable market greater than $2 billion in each market potential recurring revenue per major metro area from applications including near real-time data tokenization, edge-based verification, AI workloads, and secure micro-exchanges.

"New York and Philadelphia represent a cornerstone of our national rollout, where SanQtum's unmatched cybersecurity foundation allows us to deliver what enterprises in insurance and finance have demanded for years: instant, protected, data monetization at scale," said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "With this deployment, we're not just processing data-we're creating a new asset class with national security-grade protection, opening revenue streams that could potential exceed $2 billion annually in this market alone."

"These two larger deployments that include IBM's WatsonX.ai will be complemented by the Datavault AI and Available Infrastructure build out of 100 locations that each have estimated, and additional serviceable addressable markets (SAM) potential exceeding $100 million from each market. "

The Datavault AI Edge Network activation will support multiple monetization channels, including:

• Real-time quantum encrypted tokenization fees for converting enterprise data into tradable assets

• GPU-backed AI processing for financial modeling, risk analytics, and fraud prevention

• Per-event revenue from credentialing, identity scoring, and secure attestations

• DataScore applications in advertising, compliance, and predictive analytics

• Operation of private token exchanges within SanQtum's secure network

Looking Ahead

Datavault AI and Available Infrastructure look forward to expanding this national rollout and supporting additional customer deployments that benefit from secure communications, secure storage, near-edge compute, and secure data processing. As coverage scales across the U.S., the companies expect the combined infrastructure footprint to help accelerate trusted tokenization, exchange, and valuation workflows by placing cybersecure edge nodes closer to where data is generated and decisions are made.
