This message is from Small Caps Daily. Gold at $5,500 Is Exposing a Hidden Risk — and (NASDAQ: SMX) May Be the Small-Cap Solving It at Scale As gold breaks above $5,500 and silver trades near historic highs, attention is shifting from price to provenance.  Governments, refiners, manufacturers, and investors are demanding verifiable proof of origin, custody, and recycled content — and legacy systems are struggling to keep up. In precious metals, gaps in verification are no longer theoretical; they represent financial, regulatory, and reputational risk.  One company increasingly aligned with this shift is SMX (NASDAQ: SMX), a small-cap technology firm operating at the intersection of precious metals, regulation, and blockchain-based verification. SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) addresses this challenge at the physical layer of the economy. By embedding an invisible molecular identifier directly into materials and recording that identity on blockchain, SMX enables continuous, auditable verification that does not rely on paperwork or trust.  As enforcement-driven markets expand and sustainability rules move from voluntary to mandatory, SMX's infrastructure-first approach positions it as a quiet but potentially critical enabler of the precious metals ecosystem.
