NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 11, 2025 / For centuries, gold has represented permanence, beauty, and wealth. It has been worn as power, traded as currency, and hoarded as security. But for all its brilliance, the truth about where it comes from has always been a matter of faith.

That era is over. trueGold, a majority-owned subsidiary of SMX (NASDAQ:SMX), is giving gold something it has never had before: proof. The company’s molecular-marking technology allows each gram of gold to hold a chemical memory of its origin, purity, and ethical path from mine to market.

This is not paperwork. It’s science. The proof is literally inside the metal. That means the gold in a wedding ring, a luxury timepiece, or a national reserve can finally verify its own story. It’s the convergence of transparency, technology, and humanity, and it may be one of the most important shifts in the global value chain this century.

A Technology Rooted in Responsibility

The marker that powers SMX’s trueGold is molecular, invisible, and permanent. Once embedded, it can be read in seconds without cutting, melting, or dismantling the gold. What once required weeks of testing to determine provenance, now takes moments. And it comes with scientific certainty. SMX’s system instantly verifies authenticity, recycled content, and ethical sourcing, transforming gold into what it was always meant to be: a universal standard of trust.

The implications go beyond the lab. In regions where illicit mining funds conflict or force child labor, molecular verification becomes a line of defense. It creates a system where only verified gold enters legitimate markets. Accountability begins at the atomic level, cutting off exploitation at its source and forcing the industry to evolve toward fairness.

Independent testing by Intertek confirmed that SMX’s marker is chemically inert and non-toxic. It meets international safety standards, including EU REACH and RoHS compliance, the U.S. National Stamping Act, and Canada’s Precious Metals Marking Regulations. That means gold can now carry proof without altering its purity or its value. Traceability and consumer safety finally share the same space.

Partnerships That Humanize Proof

Proof, on its own, is just data. What gives it meaning are the people and systems that uphold it. SMX’s trueGold network is designed to make transparency practical, enforceable, and human.

Its partnership with Ava Global, a leader in high-value logistics, ensures that verification continues during every shipment. Marked gold maintains its verified identity from refinery to vault. Fingo, another collaborator specializing in digital identity, verifies that only authorized personnel handle the gold, securing the human side of the chain.

Together, they turn the old process of “trust by declaration” into “trust by detection.” Every checkpoint becomes part of the proof itself. The result is a living ecosystem of accountability that safeguards both the product and the people connected to it.

The Global Network of Material Truth

The reach of SMX extends far beyond precious metals. In Europe, the company collaborates with the CARTIF Technology Centre in Spain and CETI in France. These partnerships apply molecular memory to textiles, packaging, and industrial materials, advancing Europe’s move toward measurable sustainability.

In Austria, SMX works with BT-Systems and REDWAVE, integrating molecular verification and artificial intelligence into automated recycling facilities. In Singapore, its partnership with Bio-Packaging is certifying recycled plastics for major consumer brands, while Tradepro Group in the United States brings the same technology into domestic recycling networks.

Each alliance forms another front in the global campaign to replace faith with evidence. Together, they reinforce the idea that proof is not limited to one material or one country. It is a universal language of accountability that can span industries, borders, and ideologies.

When Luxury Meets Ethics

In today’s world, transparency is no longer a marketing advantage. It is a demand. SMX’s trueGold enables miners and brands to certify their products molecule by molecule. Shoppers can verify a piece’s origin, composition, and recycled content with absolute confidence.

This new era of ethical luxury gives artisans and manufacturers something equally valuable: pride in provenance. When creators can prove their materials are responsibly sourced, they elevate craftsmanship into an act of integrity. Every finished product reflects both beauty and honesty.

The result is a shift in consumer power. Studies from IBM and PwC show that more than 70% of buyers are willing to pay a premium for sustainable, traceable goods. trueGold doesn’t just meet that demand; it defines it. Within a marketplace where perception drives profit, accountability becomes the new gold standard.

The Human Dividend

At its core, trueGold is not a story about technology. It is a story about people. It is about the miners who deserve safe conditions, the jewelers who deserve credit for their integrity, and the consumers who deserve to trust what they own.

Proof brings fairness back to the table. It bridges the gap between developing nations that extract resources and the global markets that consume them. It gives investors confidence, but it also gives communities dignity.

Gold has always symbolized permanence. Now, through SMX’s science, it finally lives up to that promise. It becomes not just a store of value but a record of truth. One that repairs the divide between what is real and what is claimed.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 11, 2025 / There comes a point in every company’s journey when innovation stops being an idea and becomes infrastructure. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has reached that point. The company that once taught matter to remember is now teaching industries to verify. This isn’t about what could happen anymore-it’s about what must. Proof has shifted from an optional add-on to the structural backbone of modern commerce, connecting continents and supply chains from Asia to Europe to the United States.

For years, SMX perfected its technology in the background-molecular markers that live within materials, digital passports that follow them across every stage of production, use, and reuse. What once sounded like science fiction has turned into industrial necessity. With global regulations tightening and markets demanding traceable accountability, SMX’s expanding ecosystem of partners shows how verification has become the new foundation of global value creation.

Turning Verification Into Policy

Singapore sits at the top of that evolution. In partnership with A*STAR, SMX is helping to create a national plastics passport system that assigns a permanent identity to materials from manufacture to reuse. This isn’t a concept or a pilot. It’s a functioning, government-backed standard that establishes digital continuity for every unit of plastic across its lifecycle.

For Singapore, it’s a statement about national efficiency and compliance. For SMX, it’s a validation of molecular verification at policy level. When a country known for precision engineering and regulatory rigor adopts your system, it elevates the conversation worldwide. What began as a scientific pursuit has turned into legislation in motion, and the rest of Asia is watching.

Machines Into Proof Engines

The industrial shift is already visible. SMX’s collaboration with REDWAVE and Tradepro is redefining how recycling operates. REDWAVE’s high-speed sorting systems are being trained to detect SMX’s molecular tags, verifying materials in real time as they move through production lines.

That kind of instant authentication eliminates the need for manual audits and late-stage paperwork. It transforms uncertainty into measurable data, improving margins and reliability across the supply chain. Tradepro completes the picture by distributing verified rPET into U.S. markets, supplying major brands that now face strict recycled-content mandates.

Together, these partners are proving that waste streams can become data streams and that the value of a material increases when its story can be verified from origin to reuse.

Spain Becomes Europe’s Proof Accelerator

In Spain, SMX has partnered with CARTIF to integrate molecular tracking and analytics into next-generation circular-economy projects. CARTIF’s testing centers act as launchpads for new technologies before they scale across the European Union, allowing SMX to demonstrate its system under real-world industrial conditions.

The alignment is perfectly timed. Europe’s sustainability rules are becoming more exacting, and traceability is now a requirement for market participation. By working inside CARTIF’s ecosystem, SMX gains faster routes to implementation across manufacturing and municipal networks. This partnership converts European climate policy into measurable business opportunity and positions SMX at the intersection of compliance and commerce.

Precious Metals Learn to Speak

Gold and silver have symbolized trust for centuries, yet their authentication systems remain centuries old. Through trueGold and its collaboration with Goldstrom, SMX is embedding molecular proof directly into bullion. Each bar, coin, or refined lot carries a unique chemical signature that cannot be lost or replicated, creating an incorruptible record of origin and recycling history.

For traders and refiners, this changes the economics of trust. Verified metals can move faster, carry lower insurance costs, and command higher premiums because risk is reduced. In markets that measure value by confidence, molecular proof is becoming the new hallmark.

Textiles Add Accountability

Fashion’s sustainability challenge has always been verification. Through its work with CETI in France, SMX is embedding its technology into textile production lines so fibers and fabrics can carry their own digital passports. CETI’s facilities provide the scale and engineering discipline needed to take SMX’s laboratory precision into everyday manufacturing.

Brands can now prove where materials come from, how much recycled content they contain, and how they perform over time. Regulators gain transparent data. Consumers gain confidence. And investors gain measurable metrics that align with sustainability-linked financing. In this model, transparency is not a marketing slogan. It’s part of the product itself.

A Network That Defines the Category

Each SMX partnership anchors a pillar of the global proof economy. Goldstrom brings transparency to the oldest asset class on Earth, giving gold and silver a verifiable memory from mine to vault. CETI extends that same precision into the fashion supply chain, proving that sustainability can be stitched into fabric rather than written into policy. Tradepro turns waste into verified resource, converting recycled plastics into certified materials that industries can trust.

In REDWAVE’s sorting systems, SMX’s molecular markers meet real-world throughput – the technology that separates claims from reality at industrial scale. CARTIF gives Europe its proving ground for traceable circularity, transforming regulation into measurable accountability. And with A*STAR, Singapore’s national science agency, SMX is setting a country-level precedent for digital material passports and Plastic Cycle Token infrastructure that could redefine how nations track sustainability.

Together, these partnerships form the connective tissue of a new industrial framework – one where verification travels through every sector and across every border. SMX isn’t waiting for regulation to force change; it’s architecting the system that makes it possible.

Proof has become the universal language of trade, and SMX is writing its grammar. What began as molecular research has matured into a platform for global trust, from the mine shaft to the runway to the microchip. In that world, value is no longer just extracted or exchanged. It’s verified – and verification, at last, outlasts promise.
