NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / February 9, 2026 / Capital is easy to misunderstand in public markets. Too often, it's treated as a static number rather than a strategic tool. In reality, capital only matters if it alters how a company operates once it's in place. Otherwise, it's just a figure on a page, impressive in theory and inert in practice.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 9, 2026 / Capital only matters if it changes how a company operates. Otherwise, it's just a number on a page, impressive in theory and inert in practice. What matters most is whether capital removes execution constraints or simply delays them, and whether it helps build durable platforms or short-cycle stories.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2026 / Capital becomes meaningful only when it alters how a company behaves. Until then, it's just potential, visible but inactive. What matters is whether capital changes posture, cadence, and the range of decisions a management team can make without compromise.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / February 3, 2026 / For years, sustainability has been treated as a narrative exercise. Companies publish targets, regulators issue frameworks, and auditors sign off on methodologies that rely heavily on trust. The problem is not intent. The problem is verification. When sustainability depends on declarations rather than detection, the system invites ambiguity, loopholes, and ultimately disbelief.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / Verification used to be treated as an accessory-something added when requested, documented when required, and forgotten until the next audit. That mindset no longer holds. As supply chains shift from disclosure-based frameworks to enforcement-led systems, verification is moving from the margins to the center.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / Global supply chains were engineered for speed and scale-not accountability. For decades, materials moved efficiently while questions about origin, custody, and compliance were managed through contracts, certifications, and institutional trust. That framework functioned until rising regulation, cross-border disputes, and enforcement pressure revealed just how fragile paper-based certainty really is.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / SMX's (NASDAQ:SMX) announcement around Kraken explained what the move adds to the SMX platform. It's just as important to understand why it fits where it does, and why the timing matters.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has entered 2026 fully financed through the end of first quarter 2027, giving the Company the flexibility to stay focused on execution, expanding its platform, and continuing to develop its Plastic Cycle Token as a practical foundation for the circular economy. The Company is investing in the rollout of its molecular marking and material verification technologies, strengthening its digital platform, and driving real-world adoption across global supply chains where transparency, proof, and regulatory alignment are no longer optional.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2026 / SMX PLC (NASDAQ:SMX; SMXWW) is positioning its physical-to-digital traceability platform as a response to some of the most persistent pressures facing fashion and luxury today-pressures underscored in The State of Fashion 2025. Excess inventory, chronic overproduction, inefficient supply chains, and rising mandates to include and verify recycled content are no longer isolated problems. Together, they reveal a deeper structural weakness.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2026 / For decades, luxury operated on an unspoken agreement: heritage implied authenticity, and reputation stood in for proof. A label, a logo, a legacy-these were enough to signal quality, origin, and value. That system held when supply chains were shorter, ownership was linear, and products rarely lived beyond their first transaction.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2026 / Gold has long been treated as a finished truth. Whether resting in a vault, set into fine jewelry, or traded as a financial asset, it appears final-unchanging, unquestioned. What's rarely visible is the complicated path that brought it there. Before gold becomes an object of beauty or security, it passes through extraction sites, processing facilities, international borders, and multiple intermediaries, often leaving behind little more than fragmented records.
