    • SMX (Security Matters) PLC recently announced it has expanded its industrial rubber traceability platform into latex and rubber gloves, embedding invisible molecular identities into glove materials to support secure, end-to-end tracking across production, use and disposal.
    • This move targets one of the world’s largest and hardest-to-recycle post-use rubber waste streams, potentially enabling safer sorting, verification and recovery of mixed, contamination-prone gloves across healthcare and industrial settings.
    • We’ll now examine how extending SMX’s molecular traceability into latex and rubber gloves could reshape its investment narrative around circular materials.

    What Is SMX (Security Matters)'s Investment Narrative?

    To own SMX today, you really have to believe that its molecular traceability platform can move from pilots to meaningful, paying deployments across plastics, rubber and other industrial materials before the balance sheet pressure bites. The new latex and glove initiative fits that narrative by widening the addressable “circular rubber” story into a messy waste stream where traceability has been missing, but on its own it does not change the near term picture of zero revenue, rising losses and heavy reliance on dilutive financing. In the short run, the key catalysts still look like concrete commercial contracts, evidence of repeat usage from existing partners, and progress on funding without further eroding shareholder value. The glove move adds another proof point, but it also raises execution and focus questions that investors need to weigh carefully.

    However, there is a funding and dilution issue here that investors should not ignore. Insights from our recent valuation report point to the potential overvaluation of SMX (Security Matters) shares in the market.
