Redditors Turn Crypto Heist into a Nightmare in ‘Cold Wallet’ Trailer

‘Cold Wallet’ is a new thriller movie starring Otoja Abit, Genevieve Adams, and Elizabeth Aspenlieder. The film premiered at the 2024 South by Southwest Film Festival to a good reception and now we’re slowly preparing for a digital release and limited theatrical release.

The story focuses on a group of Reddit users who come together to get revenge after falling victim to a cryptocurrency scam. Instead of a typical heist aimed at a big payday, their plan is to break into the home of the scam’s mastermind and steal his crypto stash. However, things quickly go wrong as they unknowingly become part of a much bigger plot designed to test their loyalty and mental strength.

The story starts with a news report about a crypto exchange, TPX, where people’s investments vanish overnight, ruining their lives. Billy (played by Raul Castillo) and his crew decide to target the billionaire behind it. Armed and ready to steal his “cold wallet” (a secure form of cryptocurrency storage), their plan takes an unexpected turn when the villain turns the tables, manipulating their personal struggles to create chaos among them.

You can check out the trailer below:

The film is directed by Cutter Hodierne, who initially had a different idea but later changed the direction to focus on a crypto-heist thriller. The movie draws inspiration from internet culture and dark, real-world consequences. With a cast including Raul Castillo, Josh Brener, Melonie Diaz, and others, ‘Cold Wallet’ blends suspense with moments of dark humor.

The film, backed by Oscar-winning producer Steven Soderbergh, will be in select theaters and available digitally starting February 28, 2025.
