SMX shares surge 147.36% intraday as PCT verification tech and strategic alliances drive investor confidence.

SMX surged 147.36% intraday as its molecular verification technology and Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) gained traction, addressing critical gaps in global supply chains and commodity markets. The stock’s explosive move followed multiple catalysts: SMX’s PCT enables verifiable material identity across industries, from plastics to rare earths, creating a "proof premium" by replacing speculative data with scientific certainty. Strategic alliances, including a $111.5M equity purchase and partnerships with Dubai’s DMCC and global recyclers, underscored scalability. Additionally, SMX’s gold authentication system, which embeds immutable molecular IDs, positioned it to lead a two-tier gold market where verified bullion commands premiums. Analysts highlighted the technology’s potential to redefine compliance, sustainability, and risk mitigation, aligning with tightening global regulations. The convergence of institutional demand for traceability and SMX’s infrastructure-ready solutions fueled immediate investor optimism, driving the sharp intraday rally.
