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

[{"type":"text","content":"NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 18, 2026 / Global energy markets operate in a constant state of flux, where pricing pressures, geopolitical tensions, and shifting logistics can alter supply dynamics in an instant. In this environment, absolute trust has become a premium asset. SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX; SMXWW) introduces a new layer of authenticity through its advanced traceability platform, enabling crude oil, refined fuels, and petrochemical products to carry a persistent, verifiable identity throughout their journey-helping defend the enormous capital investments that underpin the global energy system while equipping stakeholders with real-time intelligence.The impact of SMX's technology extends across every node of the energy value chain. Producers are able to preserve the integrity and market value of their output. Transporters and traders gain confirmation that materials remain consistent and untampered with in transit.

These markers create a lasting, traceable signature that travels with the material across every stage of its lifecycle-from production and transport to storage, processing, and end delivery.This approach represents a departure from conventional tracking systems that rely on external documentation. Instead, SMX anchors verification within the physical product, transforming each barrel or batch into its own source of truth.By linking this embedded signature to a secure d...
