Silver's Surge and Supply Pressures Create a New Imperative for Certification; SMX Invented the Technology That Does It

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 28, 2026 / As silver pushes toward $70 an ounce and investors seek assets they can physically own, SMX is giving the precious metal something increasingly valuable: a persistent digital identity embedded directly into the material. Through its molecular marking technology, SMX can mark silver at the molecular level, creating an invisible, tamper-resistant identity designed to remain with the metal through refining, melting, manufacturing, transportation, storage, recycling and resale. That identity can be connected to a secure digital record documenting the silver's composition, origin, provenance and chain of custody, creating a new layer of certification that travels with the asset itself.
