In order to explain concepts like crypto wallets and seed phrases to “Cold Wallet’s” mainstream audience, Matchett explained, “we tried to make it as simple as possible.” That also meant sticking to established genre conventions; the film is, ultimately, a heist movie/thriller, pitting a crypto CEO against the luckless bagholders he rug-pulled. In 2023’s “The Quiet Maid”—a film part-funded by crypto and NFTs—it’s the obnoxious wealthy family who hang CryptoPunks on the walls and dabble in cryptocurrencies, rather than the titular underdog protagonist, while in mainstream action films like 2024’s “The Beekeeper” and 2025’s “Play Dirty,” “crypto bro” characters occupy a space akin to the yuppie antagonists of 1980s films.
