SMX shares surge 30.06% after-hours after strategic alliances and $111.5M equity purchase boost investor confidence in verification technology.

SMX surged 30.06% in after-hours trading following multiple catalysts centered on its verification technology and strategic partnerships. The stock’s rally aligns with news of a $111.5M equity purchase agreement and SMX’s Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), which embeds molecular-level verification into materials to create a "proof premium" for traceable supply chains. The PCT enables materials to retain verifiable identities through their lifecycle, addressing longstanding gaps in ESG reporting and supply chain transparency. Recent partnerships, including a $111.5M convertible note agreement, underscore investor confidence in SMX’s ability to monetize its verification infrastructure. Additionally, the company’s technology was highlighted at the DMCC Precious Metals Conference, reinforcing its positioning as a leader in authenticity-driven commerce. These developments collectively validate SMX’s disruptive potential, driving the sharp after-hours increase.
