NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 16, 2025 / Most companies grow by drifting into adjacent markets. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) never needed that playbook. The company built a molecular identity platform that operates above traditional industry lines, becoming the engine behind a new era of verifiable supply chain integrity.

Gold provenance, rare earth mineral traceability, ESG credibility, and digital-asset creation are not separate strategies. They are all outputs of the same technological core, a system that allows materials to retain identity through every transformation. When that capability exists, markets that once lived in isolation begin moving around the same center of gravity.

Four Markets, Four Supply Chain Target Opportunities

Gold is the clearest example of what changes when identity becomes permanent. The bullion trade has relied on paperwork for centuries, even though paperwork evaporates the moment metal is heated or reshaped. Bars cross borders, enter vaults, pass through refiners, and lose their history along the way. SMX closed that gap by giving gold a molecular passport that survives smelting, recasting, storage, and transport. Authenticity no longer comes from documents. It comes from the metal itself.

Rare earth minerals reveal a different side of the same transformation. These materials power clean energy, aerospace systems, robotics, and national defense, yet their supply chains remain some of the most opaque on Earth. Ores blend. Concentrates mix. Processing removes any visible signature of origin. SMX changes that. Rare earths can now carry identity from extraction to separation to alloy formation, giving governments, manufacturers, and critical-infrastructure providers verifiable lineage that survives every industrial stage.

Sustainability markets face their own version of the challenge. ESG frameworks require recovery data, lifecycle clarity, and proof of recycled content, which have historically depended on inference. SMX replaces that guesswork. Plastics, textiles, chemicals, and industrial materials can retain identity from origin through end-of-life, converting ESG from a documentation ritual into measurable truth, all powered by the same platform already reshaping gold and rare earths.

Identity Has No Boundaries

That shared foundation becomes even more visible when digital markets enter the picture. Digital-asset systems have spent years searching for reliable links to real-world performance. SMX built that bridge. The Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) converts authenticated material activity into digital signals that carry scientific integrity. Verification becomes digital value.

Across gold, rare earths, ESG, and digital assets, the bottleneck has always been the same: verification that survives transformation. SMX built the platform designed for that requirement.

The PCT makes the convergence unmistakable. Verified recovery becomes data. Data becomes a signal. That signal becomes a digital asset with a verifiable value-based anchor. And the same backbone that powers the PCT is the one authenticating metals, minerals, and materials. Gold reframes authenticity. Rare earths reframe provenance. ESG reframes circularity. Digital assets reframe value. SMX becomes the architecture that binds them into a single continuum.

These markets may appear unrelated, but their structural weaknesses overlap perfectly. Gold struggles with integrity after transformation. Rare earths struggle with origin clarity. ESG struggles with proving what happened between factory and recycler. Digital assets struggle with verification without distortion. SMX removes all four barriers with one cross-market identity system.

Where the Market Takes It From Here

This is why interest continues to expand. SMX is not telling separate stories. It is revealing one system that multiple industries now recognize as foundational. When materials hold their identity, assumptions fall away, and verification becomes routine instead of exceptional.

What that means in terms of value will not be defined by SMX. Markets determine fair value, and that process is now unfolding across the sectors converging around this technology. As each adopts the platform, the market recalibrates what this system represents.

SMX built the engine. The market is beginning to understand its reach…and will ultimately decide what that reach is worth.

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.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 5, 2025 / The market tends to categorize companies by the sector in which they operate. Gold companies go in one box. ESG infrastructure goes in another. Digital assets get their own lane entirely. That framework works for most organizations because most organizations only solve one problem at a time. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) never fit that model. The company built a molecular identity platform designed to operate across industries that, on the surface, look unrelated. Gold provenance. Sustainability verification. Digital-asset creation through the Plastic Cycle Token. Three massive arenas, all moving in different directions, yet all beginning to align around the same technological foundation SMX has spent years refining.

What makes this moment stand out is the speed at which these sectors are experiencing the same pressure point. The gold market is modernizing its authentication standards. ESG frameworks are tightening their requirements for measurable recovery. Digital-asset infrastructure is demanding real-world data instead of estimates. These are not parallel evolutions. They are symptoms of a global system running out of patience with unverifiable information. That is where SMX’s platform suddenly becomes the common denominator.

It is not a gold technology, a sustainability technology, or a digital token system. It is an identity engine that assigns a molecular signature to materials and preserves it through any transformation. One capability, three massive markets, all converging at once.

Interest is Broad, and Expanding Still
In the gold sector, the impact is already visible. When precious metals move through global trading hubs, they lose track of their origins the moment they’re melted or recast. SMX broke that barrier. Its system allows gold to carry a persistent identity that survives the entire refining lifecycle. That single breakthrough changes how authenticity is verified, how supply chains are audited, and how trading hubs align with emerging integrity standards. It allows the metals world to move past subjective trust and into scientific certainty. And the same technology powering that shift is simultaneously being deployed far beyond bullion.

Sustainability markets have long struggled with accuracy. Brands commit to recycled content targets. Regulators mandate circularity. Auditors request documentation. But none of it mattered if the material itself couldn’t prove its history. SMX entered that gap and brought molecular traceability to plastics, textiles, chemicals, and packaging. Materials that used to become anonymous the moment they were processed now retain identity from origin to recovery. That gives regulators harder evidence. It gives brands measurable performance. It gives recycling ecosystems a verification layer that eliminates uncertainty. ESG shifts from reporting to recording. And the very system enabling that shift is the same one redefining gold provenance.

Digital assets are undergoing their own reckoning. Markets want tokens tied to actual, verifiable activity instead of speculative value. SMX made that possible with the Plastic Cycle Token. The PCT is not a financial instrument built on sentiment. It is a digital asset built on authenticated material performance captured by SMX’s molecular identity system. When verified recovery events occur, they are expressed digitally through the PCT, creating a market signal anchored to real behavior. That connection between physical proof and digital value is something the broader sector has been chasing for a decade. SMX delivered it because the same infrastructure supporting gold and ESG verification seamlessly extends into digital markets.

A Convergence of Impact
The real story here is not that SMX participates in three sectors. It is that these sectors are beginning to operate like different expressions of the same system. Gold demands proof of origin. ESG demands proof of impact. Digital assets demand proof of performance. SMX built proof at the molecular level, and that capability scales horizontally across all three arenas without redesign, repositioning, or dilution of purpose. The markets are simply catching up to the fact that the same underlying technology is solving the problems they thought were unrelated.

This is the strategic inflection point. Not one market waking up, but three. Not a pivot, but a convergence. SMX is executing in gold, ESG, and digital assets simultaneously because the world is beginning to reorganize around a single requirement. Proof carried by the material itself. That is the engine SMX built. And that is why all three frontiers, and interest in the company, are accelerating at once.

• Initial development completed at New Rise Reno 2, advancing XCF’s second SAF production facility and positioning construction to begin in 2026.

• $300 million planned investment will double XCF’s total SAF production capacity to ~80 million gallons annually, positioning New Rise Reno as a major U.S. SAF production center.

• Global demand accelerates as mandates tighten, creating one of the strongest growth opportunities in renewable fuels – one that XCF’s modular SAF platform is positioned to capture.

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / December 5, 2025 / XCF Global, Inc. (“XCF”) (Nasdaq:SAFX), a key player in decarbonizing the aviation industry through Sustainable Aviation Fuel (“SAF”), today announced new development milestones at its New Rise Reno 2 site, the Company’s second SAF production facility and the next deployment of its scalable, modular production platform.

XCF has completed initial site work at New Rise Reno 2, including grading of the 10-acre parcel and construction of new access roads. Engineering, design, and project planning are underway, positioning construction to begin in 2026.

Located adjacent to the existing New Rise Reno facility in Nevada, the new site will benefit from integration with common facilities such as gas, water, rail, and personnel offices as well as existing pre-treatment, hydrogen production, and broader logistics infrastructure – reducing capital costs, lowering execution risk, and accelerating time to production.

Since inception, approximately $350 million has been invested in XCF’s flagship New Rise Reno facility. New Rise Reno 2 represents the next phase of this growth strategy, with an expected $300 million investment enabling XCF to double SAF production capacity to ~80 million gallons annually.

Chris Cooper, CEO of XCF Global, commented:

“New Rise Reno 2 is the next leap forward in our growth strategy. By adding a second, fully integrated facility, we’re turning New Rise Reno intoa major U.S. SAF production center and positioning XCF for sustained, long-term growth. This expansion exemplifies how XCF grows: intentionally, efficiently, and with a platform built to meet surging global demand.”

Expanding Global Reach

The development of New Rise Reno 2 strengthens XCF’s ability to meet rising SAF demand across the world’s most important aviation markets. In November, XCF signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with BGN INT US LLC (“BGN”), a global energy and commodities group, to jointly develop global distribution, marketing, and offtake frameworks across Europe, the Middle East, and other strategic markets.

The partnership would connect XCF’s expanding production capacity with BGN’s global logistics and trading network, creating an integrated supply chain from feedstock to finished fuel.

This strategic alignment comes as demand accelerates across major aviation markets.

U.S. SAF Grand Challenge: Federal targets call for 3 billion gallons of SAF per year by 2030 and 35 billion gallons to satisfy 100% of domestic demand by 2050; however, current U.S. production remains below 1% of jet fuel demand.

ReFuelEU Aviation Mandates: Airlines will be required to blend 2% SAF in 2025, increasing to 6% by 2030, and 20% by 2035, ultimately rising to 70% by 2050. With regional supply unable to meet these mandated volumes, Europe is expected to face structural shortages and persistently elevated SAF pricing.

Together, the U.S. and Europe represent one of the largest and fastest-growing opportunities in the clean-energy transition, with the U.S. SAF market projected to reach nearly $7 billion by 2030 and global demand exceeding $25 billion. XCF’s scalable, modular SAF platform is built to scale directly into this opportunity.

XCF will continue to provide updates as development progresses.

About XCF Global, Inc.

XCF Global, Inc. (“XCF”) is a pioneering sustainable aviation fuel company dedicated to accelerating the aviation industry’s transition to net-zero emissions.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 5, 2025 / For most companies, visibility arrives when they reinvent themselves. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is the rare exception. It didn’t pivot. It didn’t rebrand. It didn’t sprint into the spotlight with a new campaign. It kept building the same core technology, the same infrastructure, and the same thesis it has carried since the beginning. What changed wasn’t SMX. What changed was the world’s ability to see the full picture.

For years, the market tried to place SMX into a neat category. Some saw a sustainability company. Others saw a metals-traceability company. A different group saw a digital-asset data engine. Each interpretation was partially true but incomplete, because SMX never belonged to a single lane. It was always a platform company operating beneath multiple industries that were too disconnected from one another to notice they were solving the same problem. Then those industries began colliding, and the SMX story that once looked fragmented suddenly came into focus.

Molecular Prints in Three Major Sectors
Gold proved to be the first arena where that clarity surfaced. The sector had pushed authenticity as far as paperwork and refinery records could take it. But once gold loses its shape, it loses its story. SMX erased that limitation by embedding identity directly into the metal, giving it a memory that heat and pressure can’t delete. The bullion world realized it now had a path out of centuries of uncertainty. That was one dot on the map.

Sustainability leaders uncovered another. ESG frameworks were tightening, regulations were hardening, and brands were running out of ways to prove recycled content with any degree of credibility. SMX’s molecular marking system stepped in as the missing verification layer. Plastics, textiles, chemicals, and industrial materials could now travel through the circular economy without losing their identity. What had been a reporting challenge became a measurement system. Another dot. Same technology.

Digital ecosystems connected the third. Markets wanted assets tied to real-world performance, not speculation. SMX had already built the bridge. Its Plastic Cycle Token takes verified recovery events and expresses them digitally, using authenticated material data as the source. Suddenly, the same identity system that helped gold speak for itself and helped ESG claims become measurable became the backbone of a new category of digital signals. A third dot. Same system.

What the world missed, until now, was that none of these dots were independent. They formed a pattern. Gold, ESG, and digital assets are not three distant markets. They are three sectors collapsing toward the same requirement: verifiable identity that survives transformation. SMX didn’t build three different solutions. It built one: a molecular identity platform flexible enough to live inside all three arenas without changing its core.

Connecting the Dots
Stakeholders across industries are connecting those dots faster than ever. Refiners see the same integrity engine that regulators see. Global brands see the same verification backbone that digital architects see. Institutions watching the metals world modernize see the same technology powering national circularity programs across Asia. The common thread is not what SMX says. It’s what the technology proves.

That is why the narrative around SMX feels different now. Not because the company changed its trajectory, but because the world finally stopped evaluating it in isolation. SMX’s value doesn’t come from any single vertical. It comes from the way those verticals reinforce one another. Gold’s demand for authenticity strengthens ESG’s demand for transparency. ESG’s demand for transparency creates data that powers the PCT. The PCT creates a digital expression that circles back and elevates the entire platform.

This is the moment where the disconnect disappears. The dots that once looked scattered now form a straight line pointing toward a unified system the market wasn’t ready to recognize, until the pressure across industries forced them to reevaluate what proof actually means.

SMX didn’t change its story. It didn’t have to. The world simply learned how to read it.

Funding backs a human-first approach to drug safety and efficacy, reducing reliance on animal testing and accelerating therapies for patients.

NEW HAVEN, CT / ACCESS Newswire / December 5, 2025 / Revalia Bio (Revalia), developer of the Human Data Trial platform, today announced that they are serving as the technical lead for an up to $26.7M contract that they were awarded under the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Computational ADME-Tox and Physiology Analysis for Safer Therapeutics (CATALYST) program. The project, titled An Integrated Human Data Approach to Unlock the Future of In Silico Learning Models, supports Revalia’s mission to redefine how drug safety and efficacy are predicted before clinical trials.

Revalia will lead the effort to build advanced AI-driven models trained on Human Data Trials, living systems derived from donated human organs, organ-on-chip platforms, and multimodal datasets. The goal is to reduce reliance on animal models and better predict how drugs behave in the human body, cutting costly late-stage failures and accelerating safer therapies.

“This award is a turning point for Revalia and for the broader field of human-based trials,” said Greg Tietjen, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of Revalia. “It’s a validation for us that confirms that the era for human data is here. Donated human organs are the Rosetta Stone of human-centered development, and our Human Data Trials platform transforms that gift into actionable insight for safer, more effective drugs. Most importantly, this program allows us to further deliver on our mission to honor the legacy of every donor by turning the loss of one life into knowledge that shapes the future of medicine.”

A Human-First Alternative to Animal Models

The ARPA-H CATALYST program is designed to accelerate safer, faster drug development by enabling more accurate predictions of safety and efficacy in investigational new drugs (INDs). CATALYST is led by ARPA-H Health Science Futures Mission Office Acting Deputy Director Andy Kilianski, Ph.D. Revalia’s integrated approach aligns with recent NIH and FDA initiatives to reduce reliance on animal testing by providing rigorous, clinically grounded human datasets to support regulatory innovation.

“Drugs should be tested in the same biology, from the same patients, they are meant to treat,” said Janet Nikolovski, PhD, Chief Data and Innovation Officer at Revalia. “We are generating a unique, integrated human dataset encompassing everything from high level patient data to organ specific physiology and comprehensive molecular level analyses. These data will train models that we believe will better simulate clinical outcomes and reduce the risk of drug failure in clinical trials. This has the potential to change the paradigm for drug development, bringing better and faster therapies to patients who need them.”

Collaborative Ecosystem: The Human Data Stack

Revalia’s Human Data Trials platform forms the foundation of the company’s broader Human Data Stack, a framework that integrates donor organs, organoids, and organ-on-chip systems into a unified translational system. Revalia will collaborate with a national consortium that brings together:

• A leading engineering research institute developing high-dimensional datasets through advanced platforms.

• A regional nonprofit organization focused on expanding access to organ donation for scientific study.

• An academic research lab specializing in artificial intelligence and machine learning to unlock predictive insights.

• A top 10 pharma company looking to integrate New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) into their standard workflows to accelerate the pace of pre-clinical development

“This project unites clinicians, biologists, engineers, and AI/ML experts to build advanced in silico models of human physiology that predict drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity,” said Nabil Boutagy, PhD, Director of Human Data Trial Operations at Revalia. “By integrating diverse expertise and generating multi-omic data at scale, we aim to cut drug development costs and timelines while guiding optimal dosing for patients.”

ABOUT REVALIA BIO:

Revalia Bio is transforming how new medicines are developed by offering on-demand access to real, functional human data.
