California's Chance: Allow Global Brands and the Plastic Industry Invest in Proof, Not Punishment (NASDAQ: SMX)
NEW YORK, NY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / California is progressive, which in many cases can be a good thing. However, by flexing that posture, they also seldom miss a chance to make a statement or initiate a lawsuit. So when Los Angeles County went after Coca-Cola and PepsiCo for allegedly misleading consumers about plastic waste, the headlines practically wrote themselves. Two global icons, one sweeping accusation, and a familiar villain: plastic.

NEW YORK, NY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / Every so often, an idea stops belonging to one company and starts belonging to the world. Proof is that idea - and SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is the one that made it possible. At the perfect time.
Proof Before Panic: Why SMX's Technology Is Global Security's Missing Layer (NASDAQ:SMX)
NEW YORK, NY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / The most dangerous plots rarely announce themselves. They do not look cinematic. They look ordinary. A server rack in an apartment.

SMX Brings Scientific Proof to eCommerce, Making Authenticity Instant and Automatic (NASDAQ:SMX)
NEW YORK, NY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / Every online purchase starts with trust. Buyers believe in photos, sellers count on reputation, and platforms lean on perception.

NEW YORK, NY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / Every generation learns the lesson too late. Pearl Harbor was struck at dawn, and within three hours America was at war. 9/11 took only minutes to unfold, yet it reshaped two decades of global security and conflict. The warning signs were visible, but ignored until it was too late. That is the brutal rhythm of history: attacks that appear isolated in the moment ultimately rewrite the course of the world.
How SMX Could End the Rare-Earth Guessing Game for Good (NASDAQ:SMX)
NEW YORK, NY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / At Utah's White Mesa Mill, the air hums with acid and ambition.
