Why Verified Gold Will Trade Above Legacy Bullion (NASDAQ:SMX)

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

[{"type":"text","content":"NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 3, 2025 / Gold has always been sold as the ultimate certainty. The safe haven. The universal standard. The asset that never lies. Yet beneath the surface, the global gold market runs on an uncomfortable truth. Most bars circulating through vaults, exchanges, and refineries carry no persistent identity. Once melted, recast, or relabeled, a bar's history evaporates completely.
