Cargo theft isn’t just someone breaking into a trailer anymore.
A new SmartSense study of U.S. loss prevention leaders found:
• 81% say cargo theft has become more sophisticated
• 78% are concerned about fraudulent pickups and carrier impersonation
• 71% cite GPS jamming and spoofing
• 64% cite double brokering
• 40% report losing at least $1M annually to cargo theft
As supply chains become more connected, criminals are getting better at exploiting identity, data and gaps between handoffs.
Sometimes the cargo isn’t stolen from the carrier. It’s handed directly to someone everyone thought was the carrier.

Important read from our friends at Steptoe on the expanding impact of forced labor import bans.
One point that really stands out: compliance increasingly requires visibility beyond Tier 1, down to the origin of raw materials and the documents that establish chain of custody.
This is quickly becoming a trade, operational and financial issue, not just a compliance issue.

Trade Tuesday update:
Bad data is becoming a border problem.
CBP has begun voiding Importer of Record numbers when importer information is inaccurate or incomplete. The consequence isn’t theoretical: an invalid IOR can prevent goods from entering the United States.
At the same time, CBP is exploring significantly greater supply chain visibility, including more information about the parties behind imported goods and technical solutions for tracing them.
Global trade has always run on documents and data.
Increasingly, that data is going to need to be accurate, traceable and verifiable.
That shift is worth watching.

Just came across this one. Pretty wild.
UK police uncovered an industrial-scale counterfeit vinyl operation that generated £2.7M in sales.
2,791 counterfeit records seized. 108 artists. ~3,000 metal stampers. 18 metric tons of evidence.
Counterfeiting at this scale can look a lot like legitimate manufacturing.
Another reminder of why provenance and verification matter.

Manufacturing Monday 🏭
36% of U.S. OEMs surveyed say they’ve reshored or are actively reshoring production, up from 29% last year.
And 63% are planning U.S. capital investments in 2026 or 2027 to support reshoring or domestic expansion.
What’s driving it?
Speed to market, on-time delivery, tariffs and geopolitical risk all rank high.
Shorter supply chains aren’t just about where something is made. They’re about visibility, resilience and knowing what’s happening upstream.

A $586K copper shipment was allegedly diverted after thieves impersonated a legitimate motor carrier, reportedly using fake paperwork and even disguising the truck to resemble the intended carrier.
GPS data ultimately helped authorities locate and recover all six pallets.
It’s an interesting example of why physical tracking and digital trust need to work together.
Knowing where something is matters.
Knowing who is authorized to move it, and whether the documents behind that movement are authentic, matters too.
Great story from @FreightWaves. (🔗 below)

Maybe it’s Trust Thursday??
@NIST recently finalized its Supply Chain Traceability Principles: A Manufacturing Meta-Framework.
A few words stood out:
Verifiable traceability.
Pedigree and provenance.
Cryptographic linkage.
Interoperability.
Selective disclosure.
Different industries. Different systems. Different standards.
But increasingly, the same underlying question:
How do we establish trust in the data that follows a product through a global supply chain?
From NIST’s work on manufacturing traceability to CBP’s growing focus on supply chain visibility to the international work now underway around Digital Product Passports, the direction is becoming increasingly clear.
We don’t just need more supply chain data.
We need data that can be verified.

Big shoutout to the @avax team for Avalanche Summit NYC this week. 🔺🗽
We couldn’t make it this year and the FOMO is very real!!
Already seeing some big announcements coming out of the Summit and can’t wait to catch up on all the content, conversations, and news over the next few days.
Congrats to the entire Avalanche team. Have an incredible week in NYC. 🔺

🏭 Manufacturing Monday.
A $2 billion contract for tungsten is a pretty good reminder that manufacturing doesn’t start at the factory.
The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency is moving to rebuild strategic tungsten stockpiles and strengthen the domestic supply chain.
Why tungsten?
It’s critical to aerospace, defense, electronics, industrial tooling and other advanced manufacturing applications.
And the real supply chain goes much deeper than the finished product:
Raw materials → processing → manufacturing → components → finished goods.
Resilient manufacturing requires understanding, documenting and verifying that entire chain.
The factory floor is only one piece of it.

Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, we remember those we lost, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders who answered the call.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

⚠️ Important notice:
Blockticity has not launched a tradeable token on Robinhood Chain or any other blockchain.
Any token currently using the Blockticity name or BCTC ticker is not issued, authorized, or endorsed by Blockticity.
Please do not purchase or interact with these tokens.
We are investigating the unauthorized use of our name.

Update Regarding Unauthorized BCTC Token
On September 9 we warned that the BCTC fungible token circulating on Robinhood Chain was not issued, authorized, or endorsed by Blockticity. We have continued investigating and can now provide additional information.
Blockticity has never issued a fungible token, created or authorized a liquidity pool or trading pair, or offered a fungible token for sale.
On-chain records show that the unauthorized BCTC token was created through a transaction signed by a legacy Blockticity private key that had been compromised in April 2026. Following the compromise, Blockticity retired the key from operational use and migrated its contracts to new keys on April 21, 2026, more than four months before the unauthorized BCTC token was created. Those migrations are publicly verifiable on-chain.
The records further show that, shortly before the token was created, a wallet not owned or controlled by Blockticity funded the compromised key with ETH used for transaction fees. The compromised key then signed a transaction calling the launchpad's token-creation function. The same wallet that funded the compromised key subsequently collected fees associated with the token launch.
Blockticity did not authorize, fund, promote, or participate in the launch of the BCTC token. Blockticity did not receive or control any proceeds or fees associated with its launch and does not hold any BCTC tokens.
For clarity, Blockticity's legitimate on-chain activity includes the issuance of Certificates of Authenticity: ERC-721 records tied to authenticated documents and products. These certificates are not fungible tokens, are not issued or marketed as investments or tradable assets, and Blockticity does not operate a market for them.
Our full token policy is available at blockticity.io/token-policy.
Anyone who purchased the unauthorized BCTC token may file a report with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov. We recommend including relevant transaction hashes and wallet addresses when submitting a report.
Blockticity has reported this incident to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, the relevant launchpad, and listing venues. We are continuing to investigate.

Guten Morgen from Day 2 in Berlin 🇩🇪
Absolutely beautiful city.
Another full day at DIN for the inaugural ISO/IEC JTC 5 meeting on Digital Product Passports.
Lots of productive meetings and thoughtful conversations around standards, interoperability, and the future of trusted product information across global supply chains.
Exciting to see this work taking shape at the international level. 🌎

GM. Guten Morgen from Berlin 🇩🇪
Mike Coner is at DIN today for the inaugural ISO/IEC JTC 5 plenary on Digital Product Passports.
Coner is participating in his role as Vice Chair of ASTM Committee F49.06, Supply Chain Clarity, Measurement and Authenticity of Information. ASTM International is seeking liaison status with JTC 5, which the committee takes up this week.
F49’s traceability work rests on four pillars: track and trace, authentication, validation, and oversight.
A Digital Product Passport can carry information about a product and its journey across the supply chain. Establishing trust in that information is separate work.
ASTM and ISO/IEC already co-publish under a PSDO agreement, including tripartite ASTM/ISO/CEN standards adopted across Europe.
Standards first. Infrastructure follows. 🌎

Before the factories open, the trucks roll, the ports move cargo, and products reach shelves, there are people making it all happen.
This Labor Day weekend, a little appreciation for the millions of workers behind the supply chains we rely on every day.
Trust in trade starts with people.
Enjoy the Sunday. 🇺🇸

Public Provenance 🤝 Private Data
Public blockchains are purpose-built to solve key challenges in the global supply chain: tamper-evident documentation and authentication.
But there's a catch.
How do you gain the benefits of public distributed ledgers without exposing private, customer data?
@blockticity, a supply chain authentication company that helped develop international tracking standards, partnered with OneSource to do just that. Our Flex solution indexes and joins on-chain data (blockchain records) and off-chain data (COAs) in a single query.
The result? Strong provenance, secure privacy, and the flexibility to meet this and future business needs.

Another Fraud Friday. 🌱🚨
13,000+ prohibited agricultural items.
One shipment.
Stopped by CBP in Chicago.
It sounds almost comical until you consider the risk. Undeclared or prohibited agricultural products can carry invasive pests and diseases capable of causing serious damage to U.S. crops and livestock.
Another reminder that border enforcement isn’t just about knowing where a shipment came from.
It’s knowing what’s actually inside it.
Documentation. Inspection. Verification. Trust.
