New York, Saturday, 13 December 2025.
After demonstrating near-perfect sorting accuracy, SMX gains critical industry visibility and secures $116.5 million in financing to drive global supply chain transparency through 2027.

From Validation to Visibility

As of mid-December 2025, SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX) has transitioned from a phase of technological proof to one of industry visibility, marked by a significant engagement with key regulatory bodies. On December 10, 2025, the company was formally invited to present at a webinar hosted by the North American Flame Retardant Alliance (NAFRA) and the American Chemistry Council (ACC) [2]. This invitation represents a shift in the market’s perception of SMX’s technology, moving from merely evaluating feasibility to assessing its relevance for modernizing supply chain traceability [3]. The industry’s interest follows a successful demonstration earlier in 2025, where SMX’s molecular marking system achieved sorting accuracy rates of 99% to 100% for flame-retardant plastics at industrial speeds [3][5].

Securing the Financial Runway

Parallel to its operational milestones, SMX has restructured its capital foundation to support long-term growth without the pressure of immediate financing needs. On December 10, 2025, the company announced an amendment to its standby equity purchase agreement, which increased its available financing by $5,000,000 [4]. This adjustment brings the total available financing to $116,500,000 [4]. Crucially, this financial structure is designed to avoid toxic convertible mechanics or predatory features, signaling a strategy focused on stability rather than short-term volatility [4].
