The Sanctioned Gold Bomb: How Illicit Bullion Could Blow Up Western Metals Markets (NASDAQ: SMX)

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 3, 2025 / A silent bomb is ticking inside the global gold market, and the West is standing directly over it. The world's most valuable commodity has become the easiest material for sanctioned regimes to move, disguise, and inject into Western supply chains. Gold can cross borders with forged paperwork. It can be melted until its past disappears. It can be mixed with legitimate supply until it becomes untraceable. The entire sanctions system depends on provenance that the gold industry does not actually have. And the moment regulators decide to crack down at scale, billions in Western gold inventory could be frozen, seized, or written down.

The Sanctions Battleground No One Saw Coming: Verified vs Unverified Gold (NASDAQ:SMX)

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 3, 2025 / A new front in global sanctions enforcement is opening, and it is not happening through banks, shipping logs, or border checkpoints. It is happening inside the gold supply itself. Gold has become the preferred currency of sanctioned regimes, shadow networks, and illicit finance because it moves easily, hides origins flawlessly, and loses its history the moment it touches a furnace. Unlike oil, grains, rare earths, or semiconductors, gold can vanish on contact with heat. As a result, billions in prohibited gold slip through global markets every year, and regulators have no way to tell the difference.
