  • Spain’s Breakthrough Partnership With SMX Turns Circularity Into Currency

    Spain’s Breakthrough Partnership With SMX Turns Circularity Into Currency

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / Europe’s green economy just got its first real ledger. Not the kind filled with estimates, pledges, or recycled buzzwords, but one written in chemistry, code, and truth. In Valladolid, Spain, SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) and CARTIF have plans to team up to create something far more powerful than another sustainability initiative. They’re intent on minting the next global currency: proof.

    This partnership won’t be theoretical: it’s infrastructure. CARTIF, one of Europe’s most respected applied research centers, is evaluating SMX’s molecular “physical-to-digital” technology for direct use in the pilot plants and innovation hubs that shape Spain’s Castilla y León region’s €12.7 billion industrial base. Together, they’re taking the circular economy off the page and into the factory.

    Every manufacturer talks about transparency. Few can actually prove it. SMX makes that possible. Its molecular markers attach invisibly to materials at the molecular level, turning plastics, computer hardware, metals, and even liquids into their own witnesses. The data moves with the material, telling its complete life story from production to reuse. No QR codes to fade, no forged certificates. Just truth, secured in chemistry and written to the blockchain.

    A New Proving Ground

    For CARTIF, the implications are enormous. The center’s research portfolio spans packaging, renewables, construction, automotive, and critical materials. Integrating SMX’s platform means every test, trial, and prototype can now generate real circular data-proof that feeds directly into Europe’s most pressing ESG mandates. From lab to legislation, the results can finally be verified, quantified, and monetized.

    That last part matters most. The world doesn’t just need sustainability; it needs sustainability that pays its own way. Proof changes everything. Once circular performance is measured with precision, it can be financed, insured, and traded. SMX’s data can unlock sustainability-linked loans, attract impact investors, and certify recycled content with forensic precision. Environmental integrity becomes a balance-sheet advantage. A verified molecule can be as valuable as a minted coin.

    For Europe’s industrial heartland, this is a competitive reset. The continent’s next growth cycle will belong to the companies that can show, not tell. A factory that can prove its recycled content can have lower borrowing costs. A brand that can trace its materials can command higher market trust. A region that can guarantee transparency will attract more capital than one that can only promise it. Valladolid is poised to lead that charge.

    A Mission Aligned with Global Intentions

    CARTIF’s Deputy General Manager summed it up clearly: “Our mission is to deploy technologies that help our stakeholders meet sustainability goals. SMX’s platform offers exactly the kind of breakthrough capability our clients need to prove and improve circular performance.” Those words mark the divide between two economies-one built on statements, the other on substance.

    The SMX-CARTIF partnership signals a shift from compliance to consequence. Instead of meeting minimum standards, companies can now compete on the quality of their proof. Transparency becomes a form of performance, a quantifiable strength that builds both reputation and revenue. In a sense, SMX’s molecular markers have turned trust itself into a tradable asset.

    The ripple effect will be hard to overstate. As more sectors adopt molecular tracking-automotive, renewable energy, electronics, construction, and packaging, among others-a network effect begins to emerge. A verified input in Spain could be part of a verified product in Germany and resold in France with full traceability intact. Every link in the chain adds strength to the system. Proof doesn’t weaken when shared; it compounds.

    Europe’s Moment to Prove Its Mission is Real

    This is the moment Europe’s sustainability narrative becomes measurable. The Green Deal no longer reads like a regulation-it reads like an opportunity. With SMX’s technology embedded inside CARTIF’s ecosystem, Spain isn’t just following policy. It’s defining practice. The continent’s circular-economy intentions now have a real operating system. One that can calculate, confirm, and capitalize on every ounce of verified material that moves through it.

    The world once built its wealth on extraction. Now it’s shifting toward regeneration. The difference between those two models is proof: proof that a resource can return, that waste can work again, that every molecule has value left in it. SMX and CARTIF have given Europe the tools to make that shift permanent.

    Valladolid may not yet be a household name, but soon it can be known as the birthplace of something bigger than sustainability. It’s where the physical world finally found its digital reflection. And, as importantly, it’s where EU materials gained their own identity, and where circularity became a currency.

    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.

Such statements reflect the Company’s current views and intentions with respect to future events, and current information available to the Company, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements to vary from those described herein should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize. These factors include, without limitation: the general business, market and economic conditions in the regions in which we operate; significant capital requirements and operating risks that we may be subject to; our ability to implement business strategies and pursue business opportunities; volatility in the market price of our common shares; the state of the capital markets; the availability of funds and resources to pursue operations; inflation; reductions in reimbursement rates and audits of reimbursement claims by various governmental and private payor entities; dependence on few payors; possible new drug discoveries; dependence on key suppliers; granting of permits and licenses in a highly regulated business; competition; disruptions in or attacks (including cyber-attacks) on our information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behavior to which we are exposed; difficulty integrating newly acquired businesses; the impact of new and changes to, or application of, current laws and regulations; the overall difficult litigation and regulatory environment; increased competition; increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; critical accounting estimates and changes to accounting standards, policies, and methods used by us; and the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events or health epidemics or concerns, and claims resulting from such events or concerns, as well as other general economic, market and business conditions; and other factors beyond our control; as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to in the Company’s disclosure documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with the securities regulatory authorities in certain provinces of Canada available at www.sedar.com.

The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made as of the date of this press release and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, other than as required by applicable law.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Financial Guidance

    This press release includes references to financial measures that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than those in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are intended to supplement, and not to be considered superior to or as a substitute for, the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant expense and income items required by GAAP, and are subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment by management regarding which items to exclude or include. Non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the tables accompanying this release.

    This press release contains non-GAAP financial guidance. There is no reliable or reasonably estimable comparable GAAP measure for the Company’s non-GAAP financial guidance because the Company is not able to reliably predict the impact of certain items that typically have one or more of the following characteristics: highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not indicative of future operating results. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. The variability of the specified items may have a significant and unpredictable impact on the Company’s future GAAP results. The Company’s financial guidance in this press release excludes the impact of potential future strategic acquisitions and any items that have not yet been identified or quantified. This guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties inherent in all forward-looking statements, as outlined above.

    Reconciliation from GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

    This press release refers to “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides helpful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance as viewed by management, including a view of the Company’s business that is not dependent on the impact of the Company’s capitalization structure and items that are not part of the Company’s day-to-day operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) to compare the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis, (ii) to calculate incentive compensation for the Company’s employees, (iii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s internal annual operating budget, and (iv) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Company’s operational strategies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating performance in the same manner as management. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue or net income, as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s operating results as reported under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters the Company considers not to be indicative of ongoing operations; and other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, certain items (mostly non-cash) are excluded from net income attributable to Viemed Healthcare, Inc., including depreciation and amortization of capitalized assets, net interest expense, stock based compensation, transaction costs, impairment of assets, and taxes.

    The following table is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Viemed Healthcare, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, on a historical basis for the periods indicated:

    Reconciliation from GAAP Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow

    This press release refers to “free cash flow” which is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities as reported under GAAP. The Company’s presentation of this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

    We present non-GAAP free cash flow for the current quarter and trailing twelve months (TTM) as a supplemental liquidity measure. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with useful insight into the company’s ability to generate cash, fund growth initiatives, and return capital to shareholders. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, as reported under GAAP, less net capital expenditures (Net CAPEX). Net CAPEX is calculated as purchases of property and equipment minus proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in order to reflect both outflows and inflows associated with routine equipment turnover. Trailing twelve months (TTM) free cash flow is calculated by aggregating the last four quarters, each calculated using the methodology described above.

  • Fintary Secures $10M in Series A Funding to Automate Insurance Commission Management

    Fintary Secures $10M in Series A Funding to Automate Insurance Commission Management

    The AI-powered platform eliminates manual commission spreadsheets, giving insurers real-time visibility into revenue and agent payouts.

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 5, 2025 / Fintary, the AI-powered revenue growth platform that helps insurance organizations streamline commission and financial operations, today announced it has raised $10M in Series A. The round was led by Infinity Ventures, with participation from Sierra Ventures and other existing investors. This latest investment brings Fintary’s total funding to $12.8M and will accelerate the company’s mission to modernize financial operations across the insurance industry.

    Insurance companies face enormous challenges managing complex commission structures – hierarchies, overrides, bonuses, and splits – that are still largely handled through manual spreadsheets. Agencies report spending up to 15 – 40 hours a week on commission processing, reconciliation, and reporting – time that should be spent growing their core business. It’s a time sink that leads to revenue leaks, payout delays, and operational bottlenecks that limit growth.

    Fintary transforms this process by automating commission operations end-to-end, giving insurers real-time visibility into profitability and ensuring agents are paid accurately and on time.

    The company was founded by Qiyun Cai, one of the few female founders in the space, who experienced these operational challenges firsthand early in her career. “I’ll never forget staying up until 2AM on a Sunday, buried in spreadsheets trying to reconcile commissions,” said Cai, co-founder and CEO of Fintary. “And that’s when I realized it had to stop. The industry deserves better.”

    Cai launched Fintary to reimagine how insurance companies manage their most complex financial operations, turning what was once a painful back-office chore into a strategic growth driver. Under her leadership, Fintary has built a fast-growing platform that blends deep insurance expertise with world-class engineering talent from Google, Microsoft, and multiple successful startups.

    “Fintary stands out because they understand the insurance world from the inside out,” said Jeremy Jonker, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Infinity Ventures. “Their platform has processed millions in commissions – they know the pain of chargebacks and hierarchy overrides firsthand. That’s why they’re able to build technology that goes beyond efficiency. Fintary is helping insurers grow faster, operate smarter, and turn financial operations into a competitive advantage.”

    Fintary already works with insurance organizations across life & annuity, employee benefits, health, and property & casualty lines. Customers have reduced weeks of manual reconciliation to minutes, improved accuracy and transparency in commission payouts, and increased agent satisfaction and retention.

    With this new funding, Fintary will continue scaling its team, expand its product capabilities, and extend its AI-powered platform into broader areas of insurance financial management.

    About Fintary

    Fintary is an AI-powered revenue growth platform that automates commission processing and financial operations for insurance companies, enabling them to scale efficiently while improving agent satisfaction and loyalty. Founded by Qiyun Cai, Yu Chen, and Michael Lee, Fintary is building the infrastructure that will fuel the next generation of people-powered businesses. Learn more at https://www.fintary.com/.

    JW Radford, a former USAF contracting officer and acquisitions subject-matter expert, launched Trust in 2015 with a bold vision: to build a trust-based firm that delivers mission-critical services to government and commercial clients at scale. Over the past decade, Trust has scaled rapidly, driven by disciplined operations, a metrics-based governance structure, and a relentless focus on deep-dive staffing, training, and quality assurance.

    Why This Recognition Matters

    Being featured on the Inc. 5000 signals that Trust is outperforming thousands of peer firms across the country in terms of revenue growth, strategy execution, and operational scalability. For clients, partners, and stakeholders, this external validation offers three key assurances:

    1. Sustained Growth – Trust is not a flash-in-the-pan startup but a maturing enterprise executed over years of consistent performance.

    2. Credibility & Maturity – Ranking on the Inc. list underscores credibility with federal agencies, prime contractors, and commercial enterprises seeking proven execution and vendor stability.

    3. Empowered Leadership & Culture – Under Radford’s stewardship, Trust has built a culture around accountability, innovation, and human-capital development – which serves as a competitive differentiator.

    Key Insights from JW Radford

    “This recognition by Inc. is not just about numbers – it’s about people … our team, our family, our mission. At Trust, we believe everyone is born with a passion to achieve their dreams and goals, but circumstances can sabotage those dreams. We must rediscover and tap into that lost passion to overcome obstacles and realize our dreams. That’s what every person at Trust lives every day. This ranking is for them.”
    JW Radford, CEO, Trust Consulting Services, Inc.

    Looking Ahead: Strategic Priorities for 2026 and Beyond

    As Trust enters its next growth chapter, the company remains laser-focused on several strategic priorities:

    • Expanding its DoD-cybersecurity training school initiative, designed to up-skill cleared professionals for evolving mission demands.

    • Building an AI Center of Excellence, under the brand EchoHostAI™, to deliver next-generation analytics and rapid decision-support capabilities.

    • Pursuing organic and inorganic growth through targeted acquisitions of boutique firms that enhance vertical depth or geographic footprint (with an expressed goal of workforce optimization and overhead reduction by 20-30%).

    • Further strengthening its philanthropic and community impact work, including the Courage to Climb Foundation and scholarship programs championed by the Radford family.

  • These Countries and Global Brands Are Betting Big on SMX

    These Countries and Global Brands Are Betting Big on SMX

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 5, 2025 / Every industry eventually faces its accountability moment. For decades, companies could talk about sustainability, traceability, and circularity without ever proving it. But that era is closing fast. The world’s most influential institutions are no longer chasing sustainability reports. They are chasing evidence.

    That shift has created a once-in-a-generation opening for a company built entirely on proof. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has spent years developing molecular marking and digital passport systems that let materials carry their own history. Today, those quiet breakthroughs are reshaping how nations and industries define value. What began as science in a lab has become the language of global trust.

    Building the Framework of Proof

    SMX’s rise isn’t driven by buzzwords or hype cycles. It’s built on partnerships that have transformed ideas into infrastructure. Singapore’s A*STAR is working with SMX to develop a national plastics passport system that tracks every molecule from production to reuse. It’s not just about recycling. It’s about assigning a measurable identity to the world’s most persistent materials. When Singapore embeds your technology into a government framework, it means you have graduated from pilot to policy.

    In Europe, SMX has found two powerful allies. Spain’s CARTIF brings research and validation muscle, turning theory into verified industrial applications. France’s CETI brings the fashion and textile industry into the conversation, using SMX’s molecular IDs to authenticate fibers, certify recycled content, and give every fabric its own proof of origin. Together, these institutions are proving that verification is not a cost. It’s a currency.

    Proof That Pays

    The business case for proof is finally clear. Brands and governments no longer want to promise progress. They want to measure it. SMX’s technology lets them do exactly that, embedding trust at the molecular level. When you can verify what something is, where it came from, and how it was made, you can turn compliance into commerce.

    In the United States, Tradepro is already showing how that works. Verified recycled plastic bales command higher prices and meet the growing demands of consumer brands that need certified content. That is proof creating profit. At the same time, Austria’s REDWAVE is using SMX markers in its smart sorting systems to separate materials in real time. What used to be a waste stream now becomes a revenue stream.

    Even the oldest asset classes are being redefined. Singapore-based Goldstrom is using SMX’s molecular markers to give gold and silver a digital memory. Each bar or coin can now prove its origin and history, turning precious metals into verifiable data assets. Proof has become portable. It moves with the material wherever it goes.

    A Global Network Takes Shape

    What ties these relationships together is a shared goal: to turn transparency into infrastructure. SMX sits at the center of that network. Each partnership adds new geography, new expertise, and new credibility. Together, they are building a system of record for the physical world, where authenticity can be proven as easily as identity online.

    It’s no longer about isolated use cases. It’s about forming the architecture for verified commerce. SMX has positioned itself where governments, industries, and investors intersect. That makes it more than a technology provider. It makes it the foundation of a new economy that runs on evidence rather than promises.

    The New Global Standard

    What began with molecular markers has evolved into a movement. A*STAR, CARTIF, CETI, Goldstrom, REDWAVE, and Tradepro represent more than partnerships. They represent a global consensus forming around a single idea: proof is no longer optional. It’s the baseline requirement for credibility, finance, and growth.

    SMX didn’t create that demand. It anticipated it. The world has reached a point where sustainability can’t be declared; it must be demonstrated. Where provenance can’t be assumed; it must be recorded. And where the companies and agencies that verify truth become the ones that define value.

    The proof standard is here, and it speaks a universal language. From Singapore to Spain to France to the United States, the world’s most trusted institutions are building on SMX. Not because it’s fashionable, but because it’s functional. Proof is now infrastructure, and SMX wrote the code that makes it work.

    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.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    The information in this press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this press release may include, for example: matters relating to the Company’s fight against abusive and possibly illegal trading tactics against the Company’s stock; successful launch and implementation of SMX’s joint projects with manufacturers and other supply chain participants of gold, steel, rubber and other materials; changes in SMX’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans; SMX’s ability to develop and launch new products and services, including its planned Plastic Cycle Token; SMX’s ability to successfully and efficiently integrate future expansion plans and opportunities; SMX’s ability to grow its business in a cost-effective manner; SMX’s product development timeline and estimated research and development costs; the implementation, market acceptance and success of SMX’s business model; developments and projections relating to SMX’s competitors and industry; and SMX’s approach and goals with respect to technology. These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this press release, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing views as of any subsequent date, and no obligation is undertaken to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include: the ability to maintain the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq; changes in applicable laws or regulations; any lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on SMX’s business; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities; the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which SMX operates; the risk that SMX and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize SMX’s products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so; the risk that the Company may never achieve or sustain profitability; the risk that the Company will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; the risk that the Company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; the risk that third-party suppliers and manufacturers are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations; the risk that SMX is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; the possibility that SMX may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties described in SMX’s filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  • SMX And CARTIF To Evaluate Potential Collaboration to Accelerate ‘Physical-To-Digital’ Circular-Economy Innovation Across Spain & Europe

    SMX And CARTIF To Evaluate Potential Collaboration to Accelerate ‘Physical-To-Digital’ Circular-Economy Innovation Across Spain & Europe

    NEW YORK, NY AND VALLADOLID, SPAIN / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (“SMX”), the pioneer of molecular “physical-to-digital” marking for supply-chain transparency, and CARTIF, one of Spain’s leading non-profit technology research centres, have entered into a non-binding letter of intent, with the purpose of seeking to create a framework to integrate SMX’s end-to-end tracing platform into CARTIF’s extensive portfolio of sustainability and Industry 5.0 projects.

    The goal of the Letter of Intent is to evaluate the application of SMX’s molecular marking technology for strategic material based projects led by CARTIF, to identify complementary technological synergies that can enhance the integration of SMX’s molecular tracking solutions within broader digitalisation and circular economy frameworks. In addition, the Letter of Intent contemplates CARTIF contributing technologically to SMX-led initiatives or joint projects through its expertise in advanced process digitalisation and waste valorisation.

    SMX believes that any ultimate binding agreement between the parties could help local companies, communities and government departments in Spain’s Castilla y Leon region and its industrial sector and manufacturing hub, initially, with an ultimate goal to target the rest of Spain and throughout Europe, to track critical materials, authenticate products, and unlock new funding mechanisms that speed the transition to a circular economy.

    The collaboration with CARTIF contemplated by the Letter of Intent is expected to put a powerful, digitalized traceability tool directly in the hands of one of Europe’s most versatile applied-research centres. By embedding SMX’s molecular markers and blockchain analytics into CARTIF’s pilot plants and living-lab programmes, it may be able streamline proof-of-concept testing, strengthen grant applications, and shorten the path from lab discovery to industrial deployment.

    The combined platform is targeting measurable circular-economy gains for sectors as diverse as food and beverage packaging, renewable-energy components, construction materials, automotive plastics, and critical-raw-material refining, potentially giving CARTIF and its regional stakeholders a competitive edge as Spain and the EU tighten ESG disclosure and recycled-content targets.

    The Letter of Intent contemplates a 120-day evaluation period, and the collaboration is subject to the execution of definitive agreements between the parties.

    CARTIF Deputy General Manager and Head of R&D Programmes Department Sergio Sanz commented:
    “As a non-profit innovation centre, our mission is to scout, validate and deploy technologies that help our stakeholders, whether public agencies or private enterprises, meet their sustainability goals. We believe that SMX’s platform offers exactly the kind of breakthrough capability our clients need to prove and improve circular performance.”

    COMPELLING FUTURE IMPACT

    The potential SMX-CARTIF partnership would position Valladolid as a launch-pad for Europe’s next generation of circular-economy solutions. By fusing world-class research with industrial-scale traceability, it could deliver three decisive advantages:

    1. Scientific proof, commercial speed – Lab-to-market pathways to be shortened, potentially giving manufacturers a rapid route to compliant, high-value recycled inputs.

    2. Finance-ready transparency – Real-time, tamper-proof data designed to unlock sustainability-linked finance, potentially turning environmental performance into tangible cash-flow benefits.

    3. Ecosystem multiplier – Open innovation across packaging, renewables, construction, automotive and critical-minerals sectors, potentially creating a network effect with the goal of raising Spain’s competitiveness in meeting EU Green Deal targets.

    SMX believes that circularity requires more than ambition – it needs verifiable data that every stakeholder can trust. SMX is seeking with CARTIF to move beyond pilots to build an ecosystem where every molecule has a digital passport and every recycled resource commands its true market value, with an ultimate goal of Spain, and Europe, leading the global transition from linear consumption to regenerative growth.

    “As Gong cha continues to expand across North America and new international markets, having the right technology partner is critical to delivering a seamless experience for our merchants and their customers,” said Geoff Henry, President of Gong cha Americas. “SumUp’s platform unifies digital ordering, payments, and loyalty across hundreds of stores, making it easier to scale while maintaining the quality and service Gong cha is known for.”

    Supporting Modern Growth for a Global Brand

    Since launching in 2006, Gong cha has grown to nearly 2,200 locations in 30 international markets – and more than 240 stores in the U.S. across 23 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. The brand has recently accelerated its expansion in the Americas, opening new locations in Seattle, Nashville, Milwaukee, Maine and the Caribbean, and entering markets across Ecuador and Colombia.

    For SumUp, the partnership represents a strategic opportunity to bring its global growth strategy to a well-established and continually expanding brand. Beyond the Americas, SumUp and Gong cha are also collaborating in the U.K. and Ireland, extending the same digital innovation and unified operational model to new markets.

  • SMX’s trueGold Scores Alliance with Goldstrom to Launch a New “Gold Standard of Proof”

    SMX’s trueGold Scores Alliance with Goldstrom to Launch a New “Gold Standard of Proof”

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 5, 2025 / Technology rarely reinvents something as timeless as gold. Yet SMX (NASDAQ:SMX), through its majority-owned subsidiary trueGold, is doing precisely that by embedding molecular-level proof into the world’s oldest store of value. What makes this special is that the proof added is as enduring as gold itself. It can travel with each nugget, bar, component, or jewelry piece indefinitely.

    Once applied, SMX’s digital identity survives every melt, mint, and movement. That’s a result of the company’s molecular-marking system, which embeds an invisible chemical signature as early as the mine, creating a unique molecular serial number that survives refining, manufacturing, vaulting, and recycling. Each transfer is logged on a secure digital registry, producing a tamper-proof, end-to-end record of authenticity.

    That innovation has drawn the interest of another big player. Adding to prior deals, SMX announced that trueGold has entered a strategic partnership with Goldstrom, a global precious-metals enterprise spanning trading, vaulting, logistics, bullion banking, and wealth management. The collaboration plans to integrate trueGold’s molecular-marking technology into Goldstrom’s advisory and operational framework, combining trueGold’s proof-based infrastructure with Goldstrom’s scale and market access.

    Together, they plan to set a new standard for accountability and traceability across the gold supply chain. This time, compliance boxes will be checked by chemistry and digital verification rather than declarations.

    A New Gold Standard

    trueGold’s platform merges three distinct layers: a molecular marker, a proprietary reader, and a blockchain-secured registry. In simple terms, the system links physical matter, such as gold and other metals, to digital truth, allowing them to self-identify throughout their entire lifecycles. Once applied, the marker is permanent, invisible, and chemically neutral, as verified by independent Intertek testing under the AnchorCert Pro 2 protocol, demonstrating compliance with U.S., EU, and Canadian jewelry-safety standards.

    But safety is only part of the story. The mission is accountability. Unlike conventional tracking that relies on paperwork or disconnected block-chain entries, trueGold authenticates the material itself. The result is proof that cannot be separated, altered, forged, duplicated, or lost.

    Through its partnership with Goldstrom, that proof now enters one of the most globally integrated precious metals infrastructures. Goldstrom’s vaulting, logistics, and bullion-banking capabilities make it the ideal launch partner to move SMX’s technology from validation to full-scale commercial deployment. The value is this: the partnership transforms traceability from a technical feature into an operational standard for the entire sector. Call it as it is: a new gold standard for accountability.

    Mining Plenty of Interest

    Regulators are taking notice. The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) has accredited SMX’s molecular-marker technology as a Gold Bar Security Feature, placing it among the industry’s most trusted authentication tools. That endorsement marks a pivotal moment where regulation, innovation, and market adoption align.

    Goldstrom is placing an exclamation point on the value of that SMX win. By incorporating SMX’s traceability system into its client advisory work, it enables refiners, traders, and wealth managers to deliver verifiable ESG assurance to investors and institutions that demand it. The result is an auditable chain of custody that turns compliance into capital.

    The industry isn’t the only potential winner. With SMX as the only known company capable of delivering molecular-level certification, stakeholders across the spectrum, from stakeholders to environmental advocates, stand to benefit. The ability to track gold with scientific precision under a single verifiable identity, from extraction to ownership to recycling, could unlock enormous financial and environmental impact across the supply chain. Combined with Goldstrom’s operational reach, that proof becomes the backbone of a next-generation accountability framework for precious metals.

    Timing, As They Say, Is Everything

    The timing could not be better. Consumer demands for transparency have outpaced the industry itself. IBM research shows that more than 70% of consumers would pay up to 40% more for products that are transparent and traceable. PwC reports an average 10% premium for sustainably sourced goods. Those margins represent billions in unrealized value for brands and institutions able to verify the origin of their materials.

    In other words, by embedding identity directly into gold, SMX and trueGold turn sustainability into substance, doing so at a fraction of the value it creates. Even better, their molecular markers can distinguish recycled content, authenticate origin, and verify purity without disrupting design or production. That capability resonates across the entire supply chain. And now, through Goldstrom’s advisory network, this technology can reach even niche markets, transforming traceability from a regulatory requirement into a commercial advantage.

    SMX’s move into precious metals through trueGold is not a new experiment. It is an evolution of an investment. The partnership with Goldstrom takes that even further by transforming the company’s molecular science into infrastructure, creating a global framework built on proof instead of promise. Each collaboration, from secure logistics to digital verification, reinforces the same principle: authenticity is no longer assumed. It is engineered and embedded.

    What began as a molecular marking breakthrough at SMX has become a market architecture connecting physical matter with digital certainty. For the first time, gold does not just hold value; it proves it. In that sense, SMX and trueGold have positioned themselves not only as the arbiters of trust but as the architects of the precious-metals market’s next era, where proof is currency.

    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.
