The Trillion Dollar Waste Problem and the SMX Proof Layer That Solves It

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / The world doesn't have a waste problem because it creates too much waste. It has a waste problem because it can't see what it creates. Every year, trillions of dollars in usable materials move through global waste streams without proper identification, tracking, or valuation. Plastics with high recovery value get mixed with low-value fragments. Metals that should be recirculated end up buried. Reusable industrial materials get misclassified because the system relies on guesswork instead of evidence.

SMX and DMCC Just Triggered the Biggest Gold Shift in a Generation

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / Gold markets rarely shift with headlines. They shift when a region builds a system so strong, so consistent, and so advanced that the rest of the world has no choice but to follow it. Dubai has reached that point. The DMCC spent more than two decades building its infrastructure, but the global pivot didn't happen until it demonstrated something new. It showed the world what gold looks like when material truth becomes part of the metal itself. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) helped make that possible by introducing molecular-level verification that gives gold a permanent identity from the moment it's sourced to the moment it enters a vault. That combination is reshaping how global traders define trust.

The Industrial AI You Never Heard About is Powered by SMX and Its $111.5 Million Deal

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / Everyone has an opinion on artificial intelligence, but the conversation usually orbits around consumer apps, language models, and chat interfaces. The real transformation is happening far from the spotlight, inside factories, smelters, recycling plants, and industrial facilities that run machinery powerful enough to build nations. Industrial AI lives in a world where inputs can't be guessed. They have to be right. A machine can't optimize a process if it doesn't understand what it's touching. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is giving industrial AI the thing it's been missing for years. It's giving materials their own identity, so AI systems can operate with truth instead of assumptions.

The Verification Race Every Trading Hub Must Now Enter; SMX is the Starter

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / Dubai didn't just strengthen its gold market. It changed the competitive landscape for every major trading hub on the planet. Once the DMCC demonstrated that material-level verification could be embedded into precious metals and validated at global scale, the entire structure of international trade shifted. Traders now see what it looks like when a commodity carries its own identity. They see faster clearances, cleaner pricing, tighter compliance, and fewer disputes. And they see something else. They see that every other hub now has to play catch-up.

SMX Has Filled the Plastics Profit Gap that Cost Companies Billions

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / Recycled plastics should be one of the most profitable materials in the global supply chain. Every major brand wants more of it, governments are pushing mandates, and consumers expect companies to cut reliance on virgin polymers. Yet recycled plastics still sell at a discount. Markets don't fully trust the labels, suppliers can't prove what they're shipping, and buyers assume they're paying for content that might not be real. The spread between what recycled plastics should be worth and what companies actually earn has turned into a persistent profit gap. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is closing that gap by giving plastics something they've never had. They get a verifiable identity that survives every transformation.
