SMX's Operating System for Physical Materials Is Now Live In Six Countries
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / For decades, industries have treated physical goods and digital systems as separate worlds. Software evolved. Data evolved. Connectivity evolved. But the materials that power global trade remained static, unverifiable, and silent. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is changing that divide by creating something unprecedented: a global operating system for physical matter.

Singapore Is Building Its National Plastics Passport on SMX Technology, Creating a Model the World Can Follow
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / Recycling has always carried the right intentions, but it has never had the right architecture. For decades, governments, corporations, and global coalitions promised transformation while relying on a patchwork system that could not support the weight of their ambitions. The structure buckled not because of a lack of commitment, but because the foundation was never strong enough to meet the world's demands.
SMX Connects the World's Supply Chains Into a Single Network of Truth as Media Spotlight Intensifies
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / For decades, global supply chains have operated like disconnected islands. Each country, each industry, each regulatory body ran its own version of oversight. Data lived in silos. Transparency came from paperwork. And risk was absorbed as a cost of doing business.
SMX Has Built the First Digital Identity Layer for Physical Goods, Transforming How the World Buys and Sells
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / E-commerce was built on speed, convenience, and volume - but not on certainty. As marketplaces grew into global giants, the one thing that never scaled with them was verifiable truth. Authenticity still depended on expert eyes, subjective judgment, and a network of verification centers that could barely keep pace with the digital economy they supported.
SMX Emerges as the World's First Neutral Referee in a Global Verification Arms Race
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / A new kind of global contest is unfolding, one that is not powered by territory, ideology, or even traditional economic leverage. It is powered by certainty. Nations can invest in new mines, expand refineries, and build strategic reserves, yet none of it secures the future if no one can verify the origins of the materials driving modern industry. In this environment, truth becomes the rarest commodity of all. And into this vacuum steps SMX (NASDAQ:SMX), with a technology designed to act as a neutral referee for a world that no longer trusts its own supply chains.
SMX Builds the World's First Reality-Based Sustainability System Where Materials Tell the Truth
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / For decades, sustainability lived in the realm of aspiration. Ambitious global gatherings promised breakthroughs, governments drafted sweeping resolutions, and industries delivered polished reports declaring progress. Yet, beneath the speeches and statistics, a structural flaw persisted: none of these systems could verify themselves. Targets depended on trust. Compliance depended on declarations. Safety depended on assumptions.
SMX Brings Identity to American Plastics as FDA-Compliant Molecular Marking Turns rPET Into a Certified Commodity
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / For decades, plastics have moved through the world without an identity. They were manufactured, used, discarded, shredded, melted, and remade, but the material never carried a history. Once waste entered the recycling stream, its past vanished. And without origin, plastics could not carry value.
Gold Enters the Infrastructure Era as SMX, trueGold, and Goldstrom Build the First Proof-Ready Metals Network
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / For centuries, gold has existed outside the world of modern infrastructure. Digital identity systems have evolved. Financial instruments evolved. Global logistics has evolved. Yet gold, the very foundation of sovereign reserves and private wealth, remained an analog asset defined by trust, certificates, and manual verification.
Spain Becomes Europe's Proof Engine as SMX and CARTIF Reinvent Circularity
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / Every region that grows eventually confronts a question it cannot ignore: who can prove what actually happened.

Industries needed confidence. Governments needed traceable performance.
"Ethical Wealth" Gets an Upgrade as SMX and trueGold Turn Gold Into Verified Material
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / Gold has always enjoyed a reputation it never had to justify. It symbolized beauty, stability, and power.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / Most technologies disrupt a single sector. A rare few create an entirely new layer that industries plug into. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is doing the latter. Its molecular-marking architecture is not simply validating materials. It is creating the world's first "proof mesh," a global network where plastics, metals, fibers, and commercial goods report their own histories without the need for declarations, audits, or guesswork.
