These record-setting days are a testament to investors' recognition of SMX's groundbreaking, blockchain-inclusive molecular embedding technology that can verify and authenticate material origin at every stage of the supply chain, paving a new path for how global sustainability and circular economy initiatives and mandates get met. Adding to that clarity, SMX announced a successful $1,000,000 capital raise on December 30, 2024, an investment that showcases investor's optimism and fuels SMX's ambitious 2025 agenda to further solidify its position as an unrivaled force in utilizing digital technology to score a coordinated global win for sustainability and circular economy objectives. Overall, the total investment for 2024 has reached approximately $14 million.
SMX's success in 2024 wasn't confined to financial achievements. The company forged strategic partnerships with industry titans, sealing milestone development and proof-of-concept agreements with Brinks, YBYRÁ Capital in Brazil, Fingo, Tradepro, and luxury brand giants. These collaborations showcase SMX's ability to adapt its cutting-edge technology across diverse sectors, highlighting unparalleled versatility.
Additional interest came from one of the world's largest chip-makers, with SMX updating markets about the groundbreaking integration of its proprietary technology to mark and protect NFC and RFID chips to deliver unprecedented levels of security, traceability, and durability. This innovation does more than set a new industry benchmark for safeguarding electronic components - it exemplifies SMX's commitment to exploiting its game-changing digital marking technology to maintain its dominant competitive position across multiple industries.
As SMX steps into 2025, expect them to leverage the value inherent to its innovative Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), a revolutionary solution could replace an outdated carbon credit system with a transparent, measurable, and scalable model for a truly circular economy. This one-of-a-kind asset is a technological achievement that can facilitate and redefine a global trading market that incentivizes sustainability through financial reward.
Bottom line - SMX demonstrates that innovation and sustainability can thrive together. More importantly, the former will likely unleash SMX's full potential in 2025.
