About this update from Smx (security Matters) Public Limited Company

[{"type":"text","content":"NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / January 26, 2026 / There's a structural story playing out beneath the surface of the global supply chain, and it has little to do with trends or branding cycles. It's about what happens when materials stop being anonymous.","length":263,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has been building a platform that embeds identity into matter itself, allowing materials to carry proof rather than rely on reputation.
