Strategic partnership positions TBURN as the settlement layer for enterprise data asset tokenization — as JPMorgan confirms blockchain superiority with $16 trillion single-day settlement milestone
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — February 24, 2026 — TBURN Chain Foundation today announced a strategic partnership with Datavault Ai Inc. to build next-generation blockchain infrastructure for institutional data asset monetization. The collaboration integrates TBURN's high-performance blockchain (156,000+ TPS, 5ms finality) with Datavault's enterprise data valuation platform to create the first institutional-grade settlement layer for the global data economy.
The partnership addresses a critical infrastructure gap as data transitions from byproduct to asset class. With AI compute demand accelerating dataset valuation and enterprises seeking compliant blockchain rails for data monetization, TBURN provides the high-speed, MEV-protected infrastructure institutions require.
In a February 2025 interview on Fox Business, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon revealed the bank recently processed $16 trillion in a single day using blockchain infrastructure, signaling a fundamental shift from traditional banking rails to distributed ledger technology.
"Everything is moving out of the current banking system," Dimon stated, confirming JPMorgan is moving all-in on tokenization — bringing real-world assets, deposits, and financial instruments fully on-chain.
"If we can use things like that to do something better, faster, cheaper… we're going to," the JPMorgan CEO emphasized, validating the institutional blockchain infrastructure thesis that underpins TBURN's strategic positioning.
The JPMorgan announcement underscores the urgency of TBURN's mission: as the world's largest financial institutions migrate to blockchain infrastructure, purpose-built institutional settlement layers become critical infrastructure. TBURN's partnership with Datavault positions both organizations at the center of this trillion-dollar infrastructure transition.
"Data is the new asset class. TBURN Chain's high-performance infrastructure meets Datavault's innovative platform to create a new standard for the Web 3.0 data economy. This partnership positions institutional investors at the foundation of the global data monetization market."
In parallel with the Datavault partnership announcement, TBURN has successfully deployed 125 enterprise-grade validators across Google Cloud Platform infrastructure in the US East region. The validator network is currently 95% complete, with final network connection underway.
"Today marks a significant milestone: 125 enterprise-grade validators are now operational and entering the final connection phase. TBURN's infrastructure is purpose-built for institutional participants — from sovereign wealth funds to strategic infrastructure investors — who recognize that data is the new infrastructure."
While JPMorgan's blockchain deployment focuses on traditional financial instruments, TBURN's architecture is purpose-built for the data economy — a fundamentally different asset class requiring specialized infrastructure for valuation, tokenization, and real-time settlement of data assets and AI training datasets. This differentiation positions TBURN as complementary infrastructure to traditional finance blockchain initiatives, addressing a greenfield institutional market.
The partnership follows a three-phase implementation:
"We built the rails. We secured the rails. Now we're going live. TBURN represents a fundamental shift: institutions don't just invest in the data economy — they own the settlement infrastructure."
The global data economy is projected to exceed $300 billion, with AI training data representing the fastest-growing segment. Enterprise data monetization remains underpenetrated, while RWA tokenization forecasts indicate multi-trillion dollar market potential by 2030.
JPMorgan's public confirmation of blockchain superiority and its $16 trillion single-day settlement milestone validate the institutional infrastructure thesis. As traditional finance migrates on-chain, TBURN's institutional-grade infrastructure addresses the critical gap in secure, compliant settlement rails for this emerging asset class.
"With 156,000+ TPS and 5ms finality, TBURN provides the only blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting enterprise-scale data asset settlement. Our partnership with Datavault brings institutional-grade data valuation to the blockchain for the first time."
