They're releasing a series of free NFTs to commemorate the coronation of King Charles. And what better way to celebrate than with an animated copy of "The Oath" by Trevor Jones? This masterpiece features St. Edward's Crown, the crown jewel of the UK's Crown Jewels. Move over, Mona Lisa.

But here's the best part, folks. These NFTs are "open edition," which means they'll keep minting them until the cows come home. As of now, they've minted a whopping 9,200 copies. Who needs scarcity when you can have an unlimited supply, right?

And don't worry, claiming your free NFT is as easy as providing your email address. No need to break the bank, just your personal information. Oh, and let's not forget the generous time limit. You've got a whole four days to snatch up this gem between May 4 and May 7. Better set a reminder on your crypto calendar.

Now, this move by the Evening Standard is a clear sign that the UK wants to be a "crypto hub." They had grand plans for the Royal Mint to issue its own NFT, but that ship sailed. Still, they're determined to make their mark in the crypto world, one newspaper at a time.

But let's not get too carried away. The UK is also known for its strict crypto regulations. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is cracking down on unregistered crypto ATMs and non-compliant advertising. They've even set their sights on big players like Binance. So, while they want to be a "crypto hub," they're also making sure to keep things in check.

Statista predicts that the UK crypto industry could rake in a whopping $1.89 billion in revenue this year. Well, who needs a royal treasury when you've got crypto, right?

So, my fellow traders, if you want to get your hands on a free, unlimited edition NFT from the Evening Standard, now's your chance. Hurry up before they run out, or before King Charles decides to mint his own collection. Long live the crypto crown!
