Hyperscale Data (NYSE American: GPUS) announced on Oct. 8, 2026, that Ault Markets has launched invite-only access to a decentralized exchange operating in beta format natively on the Ault Blockchain 1. The software was developed by Ault Markets, Inc. to connect users to the exchange, where trading and listing decisions are not managed by a centralized entity 1.
The initiative expands Hyperscale Data's digital asset operations ahead of plans to broaden the platform's asset coverage 1. The company stated that upcoming additions will include tokenized precious metals, specifically gold, silver, and platinum, with access currently managed through an invitation request queue on the platform's website 1. The move follows the firm's broader portfolio positioning, where Hyperscale Data reports liquid reserves exceeding market cap across cash and crypto holdings.
Corporate Restructuring and Divestiture Plans
The launch arrives as Hyperscale Data advances a planned restructuring 1. The company, which operates data center hosting for artificial intelligence workloads through subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., expects to divest its hybrid private equity and operating arm, Ault Capital Group, Inc. (ACG), in 2027 1. The planned separation will be executed through an exchange of Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock for ACG common equity, originally issued to shareholders on Dec. 23, 2024 1.
Following the proposed 2027 divestiture, Hyperscale Data will focus on high-performance computing data centers while retaining digital asset holdings and robotics subsidiary Omnipresent Robotics, LLC 1. At the time of writing, broader digital asset markets traded slightly lower, with $BTC at $82,651 and $ETH at $2,553. Hyperscale Data noted that further updates will outline token rollout schedules as its invitation phase develops 1.
