SMX shares surge 159.91% intraday as Plastic Cycle Token verification technology drives investor confidence and market demand.

SMX surged 159.91% intraday following announcements of its Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), which embeds molecular-level verification into materials to create traceable, verifiable supply chain identities. The PCT enables materials to carry persistent evidence of origin, recovery, and reentry, positioning them as digital assets with measurable "proof premiums." This innovation addresses longstanding gaps in ESG reporting and supply chain transparency, aligning with global demand for verifiable sustainability metrics. Strategic partnerships and a $111.5M equity purchase agreement further bolstered investor confidence, as did the technology’s potential to prevent counterfeit risks in markets like gold and bullion. The surge reflects growing recognition of SMX’s infrastructure in transforming physical materials into assets with verifiable economic identity, aligning with regulatory and investor priorities for transparency and risk mitigation.
