The Albany Gazette - The Repricing Event: Why Multiple Global Industries Are Suddenly Moving Toward SMX

Gold markets were the first to show the shift. For centuries, authenticity depended on paperwork and trust because molten metal forgets its history the moment heat touches it. When SMX demonstrated that gold can retain a molecular identity through smelting, recasting, and storage, a structural problem that shaped the entire bullion industry effectively disappeared. That alone would have been enough to draw interest. What the market noticed next was far more important.

Rare earth minerals face the same identity problem, but on a geopolitical scale. These materials power electric vehicles, aerospace systems, robotics, defense platforms, and the global clean energy transition. Their supply chains are notoriously opaque because ore blending, separation, and processing erase all visible signatures of origin. When industry players realized SMX could track rare earth identity from extraction to alloy formation, an entirely different sector began reacting to the same technology gold markets were evaluating.

A Convergence of Interest

This convergence continued through ESG. Brands, regulators, and auditors have spent years wrestling with unverifiable recycling claims and lifecycle reporting. SMX allows plastics, textiles, chemicals, and industrial materials to retain identity through shredding, melting, and reprocessing. ESG suddenly becomes measurable rather than narrative-driven. Once again, a separate industry recognized the same capability that gold and rare earths were responding to.

Digital markets completed the picture. The Plastic Cycle Token translates authenticated physical performance into digital signals. Recovery becomes data. Data becomes value. A digital asset finally has a real-world anchor that cannot be guessed or modeled.

These sectors may appear unrelated, but they share one structural flaw: the world has never had a universal method to verify material identity after transformation. SMX solved that flaw. When a single capability resolves bottlenecks across multiple global systems simultaneously, markets move fast. They are not reacting to a company update. They are reacting to information about the scale of the technology and its addressable impact.

How is Infrastructure Priced?

It is the discovery phase, when the market begins pricing infrastructure instead of assuming it is looking at a niche product company. Gold validation strengthens rare earth demand. Rare earth validation reinforces ESG credibility. ESG validation feeds the digital economy. Every sector amplifies the others, creating a multiplier effect that forces rapid re-evaluation.

SMX is not defining its value. Markets do that. What is happening now is a recalibration that occurs when multiple industries align around a single foundational capability. The interest is not an accident. It is a recognition event.

About SMX

As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include: the ability to maintain the listing of the Company's shares on Nasdaq; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities; the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which SMX operates; the risk that SMX and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize SMX's products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so; the risk that the Company may never achieve or sustain profitability; the risk that the Company will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; the risk that the Company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; the risk that third-party suppliers and manufacturers are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations; the risk that SMX is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; the possibility that SMX may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties described in SMX's filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
