NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 12, 2025 / Industries rarely adopt new technology in a straight line. The process unfolds in stages that are predictable to insiders but invisible to the outside world. It begins with a demonstration, where a tool proves it can work under controlled conditions. From there, it moves into the dialogue phase, where industry leaders evaluate not just performance but the system-wide implications of integrating something new. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is now moving through that second stage. And it’s happening faster than many expected.
The pace started increasing after SMX scored a major milestone earlier this year. The technology delivered 99%-100% accuracy in identifying and sorting flame-retardant plastics, including black polymers that traditional optical systems fail to classify. That alone placed SMX in rare company. Most emerging solutions never demonstrate that level of precision, let alone at industrial speeds with digital passports attached. Demonstration was the necessary first milestone. It answered the question of feasibility.
NAFRA’s second invitation, announced this week, shows that the next stage has begun. The sector is shifting from “does this work” to “how would this fit.” This is the phase where frameworks take shape, where leaders across manufacturing, recycling, compliance, and policy assess the practical and strategic role a validated technology can play. Demonstration opens the door. Dialogue builds the pathway inside.
Dialogue Is Where Influence and Integration Develop
The dialogue stage is often the most important part of the adoption curve because it brings together the people who define the system’s rules. It is not a commercial event. It is not a procurement meeting. It is a strategic forum where the implications of a technology are weighed against long-term industry needs, regulatory trajectories, and operational realities. That is what makes SMX’s new appearance inside the NAFRA and American Chemistry Council program so meaningful.
During this phase, leaders are not asking whether a solution can operate. They are asking how the system reacts when it does. They evaluate how a platform like SMX’s molecular identity solution affects the flow of materials, the certainty of certification, and the confidence of downstream operators who rely on verified data. It is the point where market actors start mapping where the solution belongs, not whether it belongs.
This is also where consensus begins to form. Standards groups, recyclers, and manufacturers observe each other’s reactions. They see what resonates. They see what removes friction. They see what aligns with the direction global circularity frameworks are heading. As more participants engage, a shared understanding emerges. Technologies that reach the dialogue stage with strong data often become the backbone of future practices.
How Demonstrated Solutions Become Industry Norms
A demonstrated solution becomes an industry standard only after it survives the dialogue stage. This is where SMX now stands. It has already cleared the performance barrier. It is now being evaluated in the ecosystem where frameworks are shaped and adoption patterns are set. That is a crucial distinction. The companies and organizations involved in these discussions carry the influence needed to turn a capability into an expectation.
Flame-retardant plastics, once a structural barrier to circularity, now sit inside a potential redesign. SMX’s accuracy results create a baseline for what the sector can demand from its traceability tools. If a solution can identify materials at 99% accuracy in real operating conditions, then inferior approaches lose legitimacy. This is how norms change. Data resets expectations. Expectations reset standards. Standards reset the market.
NAFRA’s invitation of SMX back into the conversation confirms that this shift may already be well underway. The industry isn’t wasting time exploring hypotheticals. It is engaging a proven system and examining how it fits into the workflows that define safety, compliance, and recovery. This is where real adoption begins. It happens quietly, inside rooms that gather the people who understand what is practical and what is necessary. For SMX, the people who create a smooth path to the next stage: integration.

XCF, Southern Energy, and DevvStream to explore developing a unified commercial platform combining fuel supply, logistics, and environmental-attribute value for aviation and industrial customers
The parties believe that the partnership has the potential to advance HEFA and next-generation biomass-to-methanol-to-jet SAF pathways
The parties intend to jointly evaluate the future development of New Rise Louisiana, a SAF facility comparable in size to XCF’s New Rise Reno facility of ~40 million gallons
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / December 12, 2025 / XCF Global, Inc. (“XCF”) (Nasdaq:SAFX); Southern Energy Renewables Inc. (“Southern”); and DevvStream Corp. (“DevvStream”) (Nasdaq:DEVS) (together “the parties”) today announced a non-binding tripartite memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to jointly explore the potential development of a next-generation low-carbon fuels platform designed to accelerate SAF adoption, expand domestic capacity, and integrate environmental-attribute monetization into a unified customer offering.
By 2030, the U.S. SAF market is projected to reach nearly $7 billion, while global demand is expected to exceed 5.5 billion gallons, supporting a global market of more than $25 billion. By that time, approximately 4 billion people are expected to live in countries that utilize SAF for air transportation. Looking ahead to 2050, the global SAF market could exceed $250 billion. This collaboration is intended to position the parties around a unified platform that directly supports this long-term growth.
The collaboration would seek to increase long-term SAF supply across multiple production pathways while advancing the transparency and commercialization of environmental attributes. As part of the negotiation of a binding agreement, the parties expect to evaluate the commercial viability of developing a HEFA-based SAF facility in Louisiana.
Potential Unified Commercial Platform and Strategic Integration
The parties intend to negotiate a definitive collaboration agreement which, if executed, would create a collaborative venture that intends to develop a unified commercial platform that enables customers to procure fuel, logistics services, and environmental-attribute value through a single integrated offering. If developed, this structure would be expected to simplify procurement, improve pricing efficiency, and enhance long-term customer retention across the aviation and industrial markets.
Chris Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of XCF Global, said:
“This collaboration has the potential to create the foundation for a first-of-its-kind, fully integrated low-carbon fuels platform – linking production, logistics, and environmental-attribute systems into a seamless value chain. If we succeed in combining Southern’s developmental stage biomass-to-methanol-to-jet technology, DevvStream’s environmental-attribute and digital MRV capabilities, and XCF’s HEFA production and commercial infrastructure, we see the potential to build a revolutionary end-to-end system that unlocks new value for customers and potentially accelerate the scaling of SAF in a disciplined, capital-efficient way.
“Our goal is to modernize how low-carbon fuels are produced, certified, and delivered – not as isolated components, but as an integrated solution aligned with the needs of global aviation and corporate sustainability programs.”
Potential Environmental-Attribute Monetization and Digital Infrastructure
A core component of the potential collaboration is expected to be the integration of environmental-attribute capabilities, including voluntary and compliance carbon credits, CORSIA units, renewable energy certificates, digital MRV solutions, and tokenized environmental-attribute tracking systems. Under the MOU, DevvStream is expected to lead the generation, verification, and monetization of environmental assets associated with the potential platform’s low-carbon fuels.
The parties plan to work towards jointly evaluating solutions to help customers capture, verify, and monetize environmental attributes, including LCFS credits, RINs, and benefits under 45Z/45Q. The parties also plan to evaluate lifecycle analysis (“LCA”) methodologies and carbon-intensity optimization systems which may strengthen project economics and support high-integrity SAF development.
Carl Stanton, Chairman of DevvStream, said:
“Integrating environmental assets directly into the fuel value chain is essential to accelerating SAF deployment. This collaboration has the potential to bring together three distinct strengths – XCF’s production expertise, Southern’s developing advanced biomass platform, and DevvStream’s environmental-asset monetization capabilities – to help improve project economics while giving airlines confidence in the integrity of their SAF purchases.”
Potential Multi-Pathway SAF Collaboration and Offtake Framework
The parties intend to explore a long-term offtake framework under which XCF could purchase SAF which will eventually be produced by Southern, subject to mutual agreement on commercial terms, in order to capitalize on long-term global demand for SAF.
A key anchor for the potential collaboration is Southern’s planned biomass-to-fuel facility in Louisiana, expected to produce approximately 28 million gallons of SAF and 220 kilotons of methanol per year, supported by an estimated $1.4 billion total project investment, according to Southern.
The parties further intend to explore multiple SAF production pathways with the goal of accelerating the adoption of SAF worldwide to address the forecasted industry demand noted above, including:
Southern’s in-development, next-generation biomass-to-methanol-to-jet SAF platform;
XCF’s HEFA-based SAF platform; and
Joint carbon-intensity and co-product optimization strategies
Jay Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Southern, added:
“We believe partnering with XCF and DevvStream would strengthen our ability to scale a multi-pathway SAF strategy grounded in real production capacity and real climate benefit. We are eager to work together to further develop our experimental $SAF token on Solana with DevvStream. Further, we believe Louisiana has the workforce, infrastructure, and feedstock resources to become a national leader in low-carbon fuels, and we see this potential collaboration as a major step toward that future.”
Exploration of New Rise Louisiana SAF Facility
The parties plan to assess the potential development of New Rise Louisiana, a proposed HEFA SAF facility. The evaluation process is expected to include engineering, permitting, feedstock integration, logistics, and financing strategies.
XCF and Southern also plan to evaluate municipal financing pathways in Louisiana, following recent momentum from the Louisiana Community Development Authority, which authorized up to $402 million in potential revenue bonds for Southern’s biomass-to-fuel project, subject to additional approvals, documentation, and market conditions. While not representing committed capital and there can be no assurance that any such bonds will ultimately be issued or that any particular amount of funding will be available, the authorization underscores Louisiana’s growing role as a U.S. clean-energy manufacturing hub. Any XCF participation in Louisiana municipal financing strategies would be separate from and in addition to Southern’s existing authorization. There can be no assurance that XCF will be able to secure any Louisiana municipal financing.
Cooper added:
“We believe Louisiana offers a compelling combination of infrastructure, talent, and policy support. We expect our evaluation of New Rise Louisiana will allow us to determine whether our modular HEFA platform can complement Southern’s developing biomass capabilities while fitting squarely within our disciplined, capital-efficient growth model.”
The MOU reflects a shared intent to collaborate on SAF and other low-carbon fuel opportunities. Any specific offtake arrangements, investments, or project development activities described in this release remain subject to confirmatory due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, internal corporate approvals, and any required regulatory or permitting approvals. Accordingly, the MOU does not commit any party to proceed with any particular transaction or project.

Learn how Satoshi’s exit cemented Bitcoin’s decentralization, and why user education and safety remain critical
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / December 12, 2025 / Athena Bitcoin Global (OTCID:ABIT) (“Athena” or the “Company”), the third largest global operator of Bitcoin kiosks and digital asset fintech solutions, is underscoring one of Bitcoin’s most defining features as the community reflects on the period when Satoshi Nakamoto stepped away from public communication: its decentralization.
After publishing the Bitcoin white paper in 2008 and helping launch the network, Satoshi’s departure ensured that no single person, entity, or institution would control Bitcoin’s future. That design choice, often summed up as there being “no help desk for Bitcoin,” is central to why the network remains transparent, resilient, and globally accessible today.
But decentralization also means individuals are responsible for their own security and decisions. Without a central authority to intervene in scams, reverse transactions, or recover funds, education and fraud prevention become essential components of safe participation.
“Bitcoin’s strength comes from the fact that it belongs to everyone and no one,” said Matias Goldenhorn, CEO of Athena Bitcoin. “Satoshi’s departure is what allowed the network to become truly decentralized, and with that independence comes responsibility. Financial freedom is powerful, but it requires knowledge and vigilance. Our role is to help people experience Bitcoin safely in a system intentionally designed without a central operator.”
Athena operates one of the largest Bitcoin ATM networks across the Americas and has invested heavily in user protection initiatives such as:
Consumer protection notices and prominent warnings on screens as well and policies against third-party transfers that align with the company’s values and state laws advising users never to send bitcoin on the instruction of someone they’ve met online or an unsolicited caller.
Daily transaction limits and velocity controls to detect unusual patterns that could indicate coercion or theft.
Kiosk site selection in well-managed and brightly lit public locations.
Expanded and detailed consumer education on fraud prevention and tactics used by criminals to trick users on athenabitcoin.com and in our mobile app.
Frequent cybersecurity software updates to address new and emerging security issues.
As Bitcoin adoption grows worldwide, Athena remains committed to making decentralized finance accessible, understandable, and safe for everyday users.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 12, 2025 / The global economy spent decades running on assumptions, and it worked until it didn’t. Supply chains expanded faster than verification systems. Companies sourced materials from regions they had never visited. Certifications became paperwork rather than proof. The entire system flowed because everyone agreed to trust what they could not see. That trust created efficiency, but it also created fragility. Now the bill for that fragility has come due.
Today’s logistics environment is the result of those accumulated assumptions. When a manufacturer insists a material is sustainable, compliant, or recycled, the system treats it as fact. But when regulators ask for evidence, and companies cannot produce it, the entire chain stalls. Containers sit. Shipments freeze. Imports get flagged. Compliance teams scramble for data that never existed. What once looked like a smooth global network begins to resemble a maze held together by outdated declarations and inconsistent reporting. That is the logistics nightmare at play.
And this week, SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) cracked one of the most stubborn examples of that nightmare. Cotton has always been a black hole for verification. Once fibers are shredded, blended, spun, or dyed, the origin identity disappears. Brands rely on trust. Auditors rely on declarations. Regulators rely on hope. SMX’s new cotton demonstration shattered that cycle. The company proved that identity can survive every transformation stage in the textile lifecycle.
That single achievement shows how quickly assumptions collapse when exposed to molecular truth.
SMX Gave the Wake-Up Call The better news: the world is waking up. Governments are now forcing a reckoning. Europe’s new due diligence rules demand verifiable, auditable information about material origin and handling. “Show us the proof” has replaced “tell us the story.” Legacy certification models built on trust can’t keep up.
Suppliers who used to rely on paper trails now face audits that require hard evidence. Even recyclers, long insulated from deep regulatory pressure, must document recycled content with accuracy instead of approximation. The era of “trust us, it’s recycled” is gone. That is not a burden. That is progress.
SMX is fueling it. Not by creating another platform that depends on manual entries or declarations, but by changing the language of verification entirely. SMX embeds a molecular signature inside the material itself. Identity becomes internal rather than external. Proof becomes intrinsic instead of reported.
Materials Become Intelligent Assets As a result, instead of chasing information across continents, suppliers, and outdated reporting systems, SMX allows the material to speak for itself. A material with embedded identity doesn’t need a paper trail to justify its legitimacy. It carries its own authenticity. It verifies itself in real time. That addition isn’t just helpful. It is foundational.
It turns a fragile system built on assumptions into a durable system built on truth. And for the first time, proof carries more weight than promises. The moment a material receives an SMX marker, it stops behaving like a commodity and starts behaving like a data asset. A plastic pellet can now carry its own digital passport. A rubber component can report its origin and confirm whether it has been recycled. A textile fiber, as demonstrated this week with cotton, can authenticate itself through every mechanical and chemical transformation.
In all cases, memory becomes intrinsic instead of inferred. Passive materials evolve into active participants in the supply chain. And, the timing could not be better. Industries are feeling pressure from every angle. Automotive manufacturers must prove responsible sourcing for metals and batteries. Fashion houses must show traceability to avoid accusations of greenwashing. Consumer goods companies must verify recycled content levels before regulators impose penalties. These issues may seem disconnected, but they share the same core requirement. Every industry needs to know what its products are made of, where the materials came from, and whether the claims tied to them can withstand independent examination.
This is why SMX’s technology is not industry-specific. It is infrastructure. It becomes the connective tissue between materials and markets. Companies that adopt it gain the ability to operate with verifiable integrity. Companies that delay risk being caught in the widening gap between regulation and capability. When proof becomes currency, those without it become liabilities.
A World Ready for Molecular Accountability The environment for SMX’s adoption did not exist five years ago. Today it is accelerating. Governments are tightening borders around counterfeit goods. Corporations are being sued for inaccurate ESG disclosures. Investors are demanding data, not narratives. Consumers are increasingly expecting traceability at the product level. The public narrative has shifted from intention to verification, and the companies that cannot authenticate their materials face existential risk.
This is not a high-tech novelty. It is a survival requirement. Supply chains are too complex, too global, and too vulnerable to manage with manual reporting. A mislabeled recycled plastic batch in Europe can now trigger fines. Faulty minerals in a battery supply chain can halt production. Unsupported sustainability claims can spiral into reputational damage. These pressures create a universal demand. Material proof must be embedded, trackable, and immune to manipulation.
SMX’s technology intersects perfectly with that demand spike. Its molecular identity system integrates into existing manufacturing processes. It requires no new machinery. It scales from micrograms to megatons. It creates a universal language for describing material truth. And with the cotton breakthrough, it has shown that verification can survive transformations once considered impossible.
SMX gives supply chains something they have never had. A way to trust what they can verify rather than verifying what they trust. SMX provides that capability. By embedding molecular markers that travel with the material, its technology removes ambiguity at every stage of the supply chain. Stakeholders no longer need to interrogate the data because the data moves with the product.
This creates a new class of authenticated commodities that move through global markets with provable origin and identity. Proof becomes liquidity. Proof becomes compliance. Proof becomes trust. That is a winning supply chain trifecta ticket.
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.

Cornerstone Homebuyers releases consumer guide addressing common Florida homeowner questions about we buy houses companies, following increased demand for transparent information in Florida’s cash sales market where 40.7 percent of transactions close without traditional financing.
The Miami-based real estate consultant compiled ten frequently asked questions from Florida homeowners considering cash sales, addressing concerns about legitimacy verification, offer evaluation, and common warning signs. The guide provides practical criteria for assessing we buy houses companies operating throughout Florida’s residential real estate market.
Florida homeowners researching we buy houses companies most frequently ask how to verify legitimacy, according to consumer discussions. Legitimate companies provide proof of funds documentation from the last 30 days and carry Better Business Bureau accreditation or comparable third-party verification. Companies also display verified customer reviews on platforms such as Google and maintain professional websites featuring real seller testimonials.
Cash home buyers typically calculate the cash offer based on the property’s after-repair value, what the home would sell for after completing all repairs and upgrades, reflecting costs for home repairs, renovation expenses, holding periods, and profit margins. Cornerstone Homebuyers, which celebrated 16 years in business, provides cash offer for houses within 24 hours of property evaluation with typical closing timelines of 7 to 21 days or according to seller’s timeline.
Warning signs include companies requesting upfront fees, pressuring immediate decisions, or presenting vague contract terms. Reputable cash home buyers conduct property evaluations, explain valuation methodology, maintain transparent communication, and allow sellers adequate time for contract review and legal consultation.
Common predatory tactics include operations that market as we buy houses companies but lack actual funds to purchase properties, securing contracts with earnest money deposits as low as 50 dollars versus standard deposits of one thousand to two thousand dollars or even higher.
Legitimate companies deposit earnest money with the title company within one to three days and provide sellers with an Escrow Letter confirming receipt of funds, as specified in most contracts. Sellers should request the Escrow Letter as verification and remain cautious of buyers or title companies that fail to provide documentation within the contractual timeframe.
Additional schemes involve recording liens, affidavits, or contract memorandums without seller knowledge, preventing homeowners from marketing to other buyers and forcing completion of unfavorable sales or requiring legal intervention to clear titles. Other warning patterns include presenting initial offers to secure contracts, returning after inspections to demand price reductions for purported unexpected issues, then threatening contract abandonment while leaving sellers with clouded titles.
“Florida homeowners deserve clear information when evaluating we buy houses companies,” said Ellie Verdura, Founder and CEO of Cornerstone Homebuyers. “We created this guide to help sellers understand what questions to ask, what documentation to request, and what red flags indicate potential problems. Transparency benefits everyone in the transaction. Cornerstone Homebuyers supports increased industry regulation to protect homeowners from predatory practices. Legitimate companies should welcome oversight that establishes professional standards and holds bad actors accountable.”
The guide recommends homeowners request proof of funds, verify business credentials through state databases and the Better Business Bureau, and consult real estate attorneys before signing a contract they don’t feel comfortable with. Sellers should expect legitimate companies to provide references, explain offer calculations, and conduct thorough property assessments.
Situations where selling for cash makes practical sense include properties requiring extensive home repairs, inherited properties with complex title issues, foreclosure avoidance scenarios, job relocations requiring quick closings, and probate sales where traditional financing timelines create complications. Homeowners prioritizing maximum sale price typically achieve better results through traditional real estate listings.
“Some sellers tell us ‘I need to sell my house fast’ due to financial hardship, estate settlements, or major life changes,” said Ellie Verdura. “For these situations, working with established cash home buyers provides certainty and speed. For sellers with time flexibility and properties in good condition, traditional sales generally produce higher net proceeds.”
The consumer guide addresses verification methods for proof of funds, contract review considerations, closing cost expectations, and timing comparisons between cash sales and traditional transactions. Cornerstone Homebuyers typically covers standard seller closing costs and purchases properties throughout Florida’s four major regions including South Florida, Central Florida, Southwest Florida, North Florida.
Research indicates Florida’s cash sales percentage significantly exceeds the national average of 34.1 percent, with West Palm Beach leading at 49 percent cash transactions, Jacksonville at 46.2 percent, and Tampa Bay at 42.8 percent, according to Florida REALTORS February 2025 data.

Coventry, UK – December 12, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Strongway Gym Supplies has announced renewed availability of its squat rack cage packages following a period of increased demand from home fitness users. The update comes as the company continues to track purchase patterns across strength equipment ranges, noting that interest in multi-use training frames has remained consistent among those aiming to build adaptable setups without requiring extensive space. According to the company, the return of stock reflects routine replenishment carried out ahead of the new year, a period that traditionally sees heightened attention on training equipment for home use.
The announcement highlights that renewed availability applies to the Strongway squat rack power cage, which is designed to support a wide variety of barbell and bodyweight exercises in a compact footprint. The unit is structured to accommodate movements such as squats, presses, pull-ups, and other staples of strength training, allowing users to assemble a more complete training environment at home. The company notes that purchasers often include individuals who have gradually built their equipment collection over time, as well as those outfitting a dedicated area from the outset. More detailed product information has been made accessible at: https://strongway.co.uk/products/strongway-multi-gym-squat-rack-power-cage.
Strongway states that the return of stock across the squat rack range coincides with a continuing shift in training habits. Many customers now look for frames that support accessories and add-ons, enabling them to expand their setup over time rather than relying on fixed, single-purpose equipment. In line with this trend, the company has also confirmed the renewed availability of the Strongway squat rack power cage with cable pulley system.
This variation incorporates a cable attachment that provides a broader range of resistance exercises within the same frame, which the company says appeals to those aiming to include both free-weight and cable-based movements in their routine. The re-stock follows a period of sustained interest from users seeking equipment that can serve multiple training styles under one structure. Details for this model are available at: https://strongway.co.uk/products/strongway-multi-gym-squat-rack-power-cage-with-cable-pulley-system.
In its update, Strongway Gym Supplies notes that its wider catalogue continues to attract customers assembling home gyms incrementally. Many users begin with a foundational piece of equipment, such as a rack or cage, and later add items, including benches, plates, dumbbells, or flooring, depending on the space they have available. The company explains that the renewed supply of squat rack packages is expected to support customers who were waiting specifically for stock updates before planning their next purchases. While demand has been distributed across the brand’s various equipment categories, squat frames and power cages remain among the most closely monitored items due to their role as the core structure around which many home gyms are built.
Strongway also states that enquiries from home fitness enthusiasts have grown steadily, particularly among those looking for sturdy, versatile equipment that can handle repeated use without requiring substantial maintenance. The frames described in the announcement form part of the company’s ongoing focus on everyday users who want durable equipment without the complexity sometimes associated with commercial-grade installations. Staff note that many customers now plan long-term equipment layouts for their homes or garages, often adjusting their environment gradually as their training needs evolve.
As part of the availability update, Strongway has directed customers to its main website, where the full product catalogue, stock information, and purchasing options can be found. The company emphasises that updates to availability are made routinely and that customers can check current stock levels at any time. Additional details about the brand and its wider equipment offering can be accessed at: https://strongway.co.uk/.
The company expects that the renewed supply of squat rack cage packages will help meet early-season demand from individuals preparing for the months ahead. Strongway states that it will continue monitoring inventory levels and updating customers as further restocks take place across its strength and conditioning ranges.
