When Verification Becomes Currency, SMX's $110 Million Equity Purchase Agreement Powers Trusted Supply Chains
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / Trust is the most valuable commodity in the modern economy, yet it's the hardest to secure. Every sector relies on trust. Gold must confirm origin. Minerals must authenticate purity. Plastics recycling must be proven scientifically. Textile supply chains must verify input claims. Agricultural networks must demonstrate traceability. Aerospace and electronics must confirm authenticity at the part level. No major industry can rely on assumptions anymore. Trust can't be declared. It has to be demonstrated.
SMX's $111.5 Million Equity Purchase Deal Unlocks Its Role in the New Age of Material Intelligence
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / Industries once treated materials as interchangeable commodities. Steel was steel. Plastic was plastic. Gold was gold. Cotton was cotton. Identity rarely mattered because the systems relying on those materials weren't built to authenticate them. But the world changed faster than supply chains did. Today's markets require something materials never had to provide before. They require intelligence.
SMX's Strikes $111.5 Million Equity Purchase Agreement, Puts an Exclamation Point on a Transformative 2025
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / Global trade depends on the assumption that everyone follows the same rules. In reality, they don't. Compliance frameworks differ by country. Recycling standards vary by region. Verification processes change by industry. A supply chain stretching across continents often operates inside systems that weren't designed to work together. The result is friction, inconsistency, and significant inefficiency.
The Proof Economy Needs Infrastructure, Not Promises - And SMX's $111.5 Million Equity Purchase Agreement Builds It
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / Every industrial revolution begins the same way. Not with a breakthrough, but with a realization. A moment when the world understands that the systems it uses no longer match the complexity of the world it operates in. That moment arrived in 2025 for supply chains worldwide. Commodity markets strained under verification gaps. Recycling programs faced credibility challenges. Compliance regimes collapsed under the weight of new regulations. And industries demanding measurable truth discovered they lacked the infrastructure to deliver it.
What to Expect Before, During, and After a Tooth Extraction
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / December 01, 2025 / Although your dentist aims to preserve your natural smile, sometimes a tooth extraction is necessary. For example, if you have a broken tooth, severe tooth decay, or gum disease, then it may be best for your oral health to remove the tooth. While tooth extraction is a common dental procedure, understanding what to expect can help you feel more confident ahead of your appointment and better prepare for a smooth recovery.
SMX's $111.5 Million Equity Purchase Agreement Becomes the Engine Behind the Proof Economy
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / Supply chains were never designed for the pressures they now face. Commodities move across dozens of borders. Compliance rules shift mid-transaction. Recycling claims demand scientific verification. Markets want authenticity. Governments want traceability. Brands want transparency. Consumers want accountability.

SMX's $111.5 Million Equity Purchase Agreement Arrived at the Exact Moment the World Needed Proof
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / The global economy spent the past decade upgrading everything except the one thing it depends on most: verification. Industries digitized. Logistics accelerated. Compliance expanded. But the underlying trust layer never caught up. Too many systems ran on assumptions. Too many certifications depended on paper trails that failed under scrutiny. Too many supply chains were built on declarations instead of evidence.

Trust But Verify, The SMX Technology That is Changing Global Supply Chain Rules
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / There is a shift in global commerce that most companies have not yet caught up to. Markets are starting to wake up to the idea that verification is no longer a back-office function. It's a new economic layer that determines pricing power, trust, and access. The companies that can prove the truth of their materials, products, and supply chains are beginning to outperform the ones that cannot. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) sits at the center of that shift. It built a physical-to-digital identity platform that embeds verification into the material itself, transforming proof from a document into an attribute. Companies are discovering that this is the difference between participating in the modern economy and being priced out of it.
SMX Is Capturing Global Attention By Turning Supply Chains Into Intelligence Networks
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / Modern supply chains used to be simple. A product moved from one place to another, someone signed a form, and the system accepted that as truth. That world doesn't exist anymore. Global regulations hardened, materials started crossing borders at record speed, and companies faced exposure from every direction. A supply chain without intelligence isn't a supply chain. It's a liability. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) stepped into this environment with a technology that gives materials something they've never had. They get memory. They carry their identity from the moment they're created until the moment they're used.
