Martha Stewart Announces the Launch of Her First Audio Storytelling NFT Collection Commemorating Thanksgiving Traditions
Aptly dubbed the “Queen of Thanksgiving” by Time Magazine, world renowned business and cultural icon Martha Stewart will launch her second collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on her NFT boutique MarthaFRESHMint.com. This officially licensed, Thanksgiving-themed collection is produced in collaboration with Tokns Commerce, the leading licensee and NFT solutions provider for iconic brands and world-class creators.
Adding to a long list of “Martha Firsts,” Martha Stewart is innovating yet again, producing the first-ever “Storytelling NFT.” This novel NFT format features an audio recording of Martha sharing her earliest Thanksgiving memories and recounting the story of her first, disastrous, Thanksgiving dinner. This humorous account was first published in the debut Thanksgiving edition of Martha Stewart Living magazine. This featured collection will include a signed digital cover from that 1994 Thanksgiving issue, and an audio recording of Martha reading from the very first “Remembering” article included on the last page in Martha Stewart Living, penned by Martha herself.
“Storytelling is a bit of a lost art, so I am thrilled to be bringing it into the world of NFTs just in time for the holidays,” says Martha Stewart. “It was nostalgic for me to re-read my first ‘Remembering’ article from nearly 30 years ago. I enjoyed recounting and recording the story of that first Thanksgiving in my own home, burned turkey and all.”
As an homage to some of the most memorable photographers she has worked with throughout the years, Martha has also curated a collection of 100 unique NFTs that capture the beauty and bounty of this American holiday. Black Friday Shoppers struggling to find new gift ideas, can now purchase gift cards on MarthaFRESHMint.com for the NFT collectors and Martha Stewart fans on your list.
An NFT is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data that is assigned to a digital item such as photos, videos and audio and minted to the blockchain to authenticate ownership. Blending new technology of the blockchain with modern direct-to-consumer e-commerce practices, Tokns Commerce collaborates with Martha Stewart and Marquee Brands to transform decades of artefacts, photographs and momentous occasions into own-able digital art that celebrates changing seasons, holidays, and other special occasions.
Founder and CEO of Tokns Commerce Jamie Tedford notes; “After selling out her first Halloween NFT collection, Martha has doubled down on the quantity of NFTs while ratcheting up the creativity with this breakthrough “Storytelling NFT” format. Martha.com is at the forefront of the direct-to-consumer movement, so it should come as no surprise that Martha Stewart is leading the charge to make NFT’s more accessible while building deeper connections with buyers and collectors.
Marquee Brands and Tokns Commerce recognise the imperative of sustainable business practices and are committed to offsetting carbon emissions from this project. Tokns works with partners, including sustainability platform Aerial, to counter carbon emissions with a goal of carbon neutrality.

Elizabeth Warren Urges Treasury Secretary Yellen to Implement Strong AML/CFT Measures for Stablecoins
In a recent communication directed to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, US Senator Elizabeth Warren has strongly advocated for the incorporation of robust Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) measures specifically tailored for stablecoins. Senator Warren’s correspondence underscores the critical importance of adopting the full array of AML tools outlined by the Treasury Department in a prior November 2023 communication to Congress.
Senator Warren has underscored the burgeoning threat posed by cryptocurrencies, particularly stablecoins, to national security. She has specifically drawn attention to instances where entities like Iran and Hamas have turned to cryptocurrencies as a means to raise funds and support terrorist activities. To effectively address this evolving threat landscape, Senator Warren asserts that any forthcoming crypto legislation must encompass comprehensive AML/CFT authorities as requested by the Treasury Department.
Moreover, Senator Warren has made reference to the testimony provided by Deputy Secretary Adewale O. ‘Wally’ Adeyemo before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. In this testimony, Adeyemo emphasized the critical need for additional AML authorities to combat the growing menace posed by cryptocurrencies. Senator Warren has pointed out that the exclusion of crucial actors within the digital asset ecosystem, such as miners and validators, from AML/CFT requirements could potentially enable nefarious actors to exploit the increased crypto trading facilitated by stablecoin legislation.
Senator Warren’s steadfast stance on the regulation and oversight of cryptocurrencies is aligned with her prior efforts aimed at curbing illicit activities and safeguarding consumers, the financial system, and national security interests. She has persistently advocated for the closure of loopholes in AML regulations that allow sanctioned entities like Iran to derive revenue through crypto transactions. Furthermore, Senator Warren has consistently voiced concerns regarding the exploitation of cryptocurrencies in terrorist financing schemes and has called for the implementation of stronger regulatory frameworks to protect both consumers and national security interests within the realm of stablecoin-related legislation.

Binance Launches Megadrop: A Token Launch Platform with Airdrops and Web3 Quests
Binance has rolled out Binance Megadrop, a novel token launch platform that blends airdrops with Web3 quests. This platform enables users to engage in BNB Locked Products subscriptions and complete tasks within their Web3 Wallet to earn early rewards from chosen Web3 projects, even before their tokens hit the Binance Exchange.
The inaugural project featured on Binance Megadrop is BounceBit (BB), a BTC restaking chain. Here are the token specifics for BounceBit: Max Token Supply: 2,100,000,000 BB, Megadrop Token Rewards: 168,000,000 BB (8% of max token supply), Initial Circulating Supply: 409,500,000 BB (19.5% of max token supply).
To kickstart their journey with Binance Megadrop, users must log into their Binance account and ensure they possess an active Binance Web3 Wallet. From there, they can subscribe to BNB Locked Products and/or fulfill Web3 Quests to accumulate scores. These scores dictate the rewards received through the Megadrop program.
The scoring mechanism for Megadrop relies on the Locked BNB Score, determined by the quantity of BNB subscribed and the subscription period’s duration. Users also earn a Web3 Quest Bonus and a Web3 Quest Multiplier upon completion of designated Web3 Quests. The total score is computed by applying the Web3 Quest Multiplier to the Locked BNB Score and adding the Web3 Quest Bonus.
Importantly, only wallets created within the Binance Web3 Wallet and not external wallets will count towards Megadrop participation. Megadrop rewards will be airdropped to users’ Binance Spot Wallets.
Users must undergo identity verification and maintain at least one active Binance Web3 Wallet to qualify for Megadrop rewards. Additionally, certain jurisdiction-based eligibility criteria apply. Users from Australia, Canada, Cuba, Crimea Region, Hong Kong, Iran, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands, North Korea, Russia, Singapore, Syria, United Kingdom, United States of America, and its territories are presently ineligible to participate in BB Megadrop.
Binance Megadrop is aimed at offering users an interactive and rewarding experience within the crypto realm. Further details regarding the Megadrop amount, Web3 Quests, and the comprehensive listing plan will be disclosed separately.

Quantum eMotion Files a Patent for Quantum-based Blockchain Wallet Under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)
Quantum eMotion Corp. (TSXV: QNC) (OTCQB: QNCCF) (“QeM” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the submission of a PCT patent application for an innovative approach to operating Blockchain Wallet, harnessing the unmatched security provided by the QeM Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG2).
Hardware wallets stand as robust physical fortresses, safeguarding the private keys essential for accessing and managing cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. By storing private keys offline, these devices fortify themselves against cyber threats and hacking attempts, presenting a notable advantage over internet-connected software wallets.
Cryptocurrency wallets, including blockchain wallets, heavily rely on large series of numbers known as keys. Various schemes exist for generating these keys, such as ND and HD, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. However, when providing a blockchain wallet to an unfamiliar user, adapting the key generation scheme to the user’s specific usage type becomes challenging, often resulting in mismatches between the key generation schemes and the users. Quantum eMotion’s technology addresses these challenges by offering a wallet that intelligently selects the key generation scheme based on a comparison of cost values of different key generation schemes. Furthermore, by leveraging Quantum eMotion’s QRNG technologies, a blockchain wallet that combines the benefits of true random number generation with intelligent key generation scheme selection can now be made accessible to consumers, offering an unprecedented level of functionality.
Quantum eMotion’s technology, developed in collaboration with Dr. Kaiwen Zhang at ETS (École de technologie supérieure, Montreal, Canada), is now patent pending globally. Specifically, the patent application has been submitted under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, with March 30, 2023, as the priority date. The Patent Cooperation Treaty serves as an international agreement enabling the reservation of international patent protection in over 150 member states for 30 months from the priority date. Consequently, Quantum eMotion’s international patent application for this technology will remain pending until September 30, 2025, following which the application process will continue nationally in selected countries and regions.
Francis Bellido, CEO of Quantum eMotion, commented, “The recent resurgence of interest in cryptocurrencies motivates us to deploy our patented technology, grounded in quantum electron tunneling, across blockchain applications. However, as cryptocurrencies regain popularity, ensuring their security remains of utmost importance.”
