The GENIUS Act Just Launched a New Economy; SMX (Security Matters) Was Already There

NEW YORK CITY, NY / / July 25, 2025 / A quiet revolution took place in Washington last week. With the passage of the GENIUS Act, the U.S. government established its first comprehensive legal framework for digitally-driven value systems that pave the way for broader integration of secure, data-based tools into everyday commerce, logistics, and compliance.

While much of the attention focused on financial market implications, the real transformation is unfolding beneath the surface. The GENIUS Act isn't just about finance. It's about verifying trust, proving sustainability, and enabling accountability at every step of the physical economy.

That's where SMX (Security Matters) (NASDAQ:SMX) comes into play. This is not a company adjusting to new policy. It's one that's been engineering for it all along.

Built for a Verified Future

SMX developed a patented molecular marking system that links physical goods to permanent, traceable records of origin, movement, and transformation. By embedding encrypted markers into materials like plastic, metals, textiles, and liquids, SMX gives each item its own "birth certificate" of integrity.

What began as a solution for manufacturers needing greater supply chain oversight has evolved into a comprehensive system for industries seeking to comply, verify, and demonstrate their commitment to policies to regulators, partners, or customers.

The timing is no accident. SMX anticipated this policy evolution. The GENIUS Act simply validates its blueprint.

A Structural Response to a Systemic Shift

On July 22, 2025, SMX announced the creation of a new wholly owned subsidiary, SMX (Treasury and Asset Holding Company) Limited, based in Ireland. This entity provides the company with a structural path to manage forward-thinking financial instruments that align with the core ethos of the SMX platform: integrity, traceability, and long-term value.

This isn't just an accounting update. It's a philosophy in action.

Just as SMX's platform allows materials to be verified across a product lifecycle, its financial approach is designed to reflect those same principles-ensuring that what is tracked operationally can also be mirrored and protected financially.

Sustainability Gets a New Toolkit

Few systems are more in need of overhaul than the recycling system.

For decades, companies have made public sustainability claims based on averages, estimates, or unaudited reports. But real accountability requires more than intentions. It demands systems that prove what was actually reused or recovered.

SMX addresses this need with a closed-loop tracking system that follows plastic from production through reuse or verified reclamation. Each item is marked, recorded, and followed through its journey. This transforms waste into a measurable environmental asset-one that can be confirmed, reported, and reflected in ESG performance.

What once ended up in landfills without a trace can now be verified in near real time. It's not just better reporting. It's proof by design.

From Manufacturing to Military: Why Source-Level Certainty Matters

While sustainability garners headlines, the value of SMX's technology extends into national defense and critical infrastructure.

Supply chain risk has become a front-line issue. A single unverified component-whether in an aircraft, satellite, or weapons platform-can pose a serious threat. Authenticity, origin, and secure custody are no longer "nice to have." They're essential.

That's why recently featured SMX in a national editorial spotlighting its potential to help secure U.S. defense logistics. The piece underscored a chilling reality:

"Adversaries don't need to breach a firewall or cross a border if they can compromise the integrity of our materials before they ever reach assembly."

SMX helps prevent that scenario by offering a way to lock trust into the material itself. From raw extraction to deployment, its system provides continuous, source-level validation; an embedded safeguard rather than a retroactive check.

The GENIUS Act now provides the legal footing for these systems to be adopted at scale across industries.

Accountability at Scale

What the GENIUS Act truly unlocks is a universal framework for proving claims-whether those claims relate to sustainability, compliance, or origin of goods. For years, industries were told to do better. Now they have a structure to follow-and, more importantly, the tools to prove it.

SMX's system enables materials of all types to be tied to trusted records. Hardware, textiles, food-grade packaging, and even raw industrial inputs can now be followed through every handoff and process. Each one carries its own story, backed by secure, tamper-resistant data. This makes ESG tracking not only possible but meaningful.

For regulators, that means laws can be enforced with confidence. For companies, risk declines and credibility rises. And for consumers, what's promised on the packaging is finally aligned with what's inside.

This Isn't a Pivot. It's a Platform.

The GENIUS Act is not just a financial milestone. It's a policy shift toward a more transparent and secure commercial ecosystem. The rules are changing. Enforcement is rising. And expectations are shifting from stated compliance to proven performance.

SMX isn't racing to adapt. It built the track.

As industries retool for this new environment, SMX offers something rare: a complete, field-tested platform that bridges the gap between physical goods and verified accountability.

From recycled packaging to precision aerospace components, SMX enables integrity not as a claim-but as a system.
