With Oil Prices Surging, Investors Gravitate to Physical Assets Like Silver; SMX Provides Digital Technology to Certify
SMX is promoting the application of its molecular marking technology to silver, embedding a persistent digital identity into the metal to document origin, composition and chain of custody.
The release ties the pitch to a surging silver market: silver closed at $68.99 on August 21 after gaining more than 20% in three weeks, and the Silver Institute forecasts a sixth consecutive annual supply deficit of roughly 67 million ounces in 2026.
The initiative supports SMX's Digital Material Passport strategy, positioning certification as a value-add for miners, refiners, traders and recyclers. However, the release contains no new contracts, revenue figures or firm commercial commitments.
