Crypto and NFT insiders are receiving interview requests for a new Bored Up Yacht Club documentary — and have been told the next film will be produced by the producers behind Tiger King, On the Money sources have reported.
It is not clear when the documentary on BAYC - the main producer of so-called NFTs, or intangible tokens sold for astronomical sums - will be released. However, crypto insiders say they have received emails indicating that he is being actively photographed.
"This is the final nail in the NFT coffin - a sign that the crypto craze is officially over," said one crypto skeptic.
Many movie producers seem ready to cash in on the coding mess. An insider told Money that he is working on a documentary about the crypto punk NFT store. Netflix has also commissioned a documentary about a couple involved in a crypto heist.

While Bored Monkeys is known for its expensive NFTs — at its peak, 107 NFTs were sold for $24.4 million — they've recently been protesting racist imagery and "neo-Nazi dog whistles."
Bored Monkeys Have an FTX Connection: Sam Bankman-Fried has invested around $50 million in Alameda research at Yuga Labs.
A crypto source who reached an interview request told the Post, "They're chasing the scandal of bored monkeys because they want it to be as crazy as possible." "They want it to be theatrical and they want to make a lot of money."

"Tiger King" had 34 million viewers on air in its first ten days and more than 64 million viewers in recent estimates. Its sequel, Tiger King 2, debuted at No. 2 on Netflix's most-watched list.
Despite the huge success of Tiger King, the filmmakers were criticized for giving Joe Exotic a stage name as the "Charles Manson of Animal Cruelty".
"Tiger King" wasn't preaching — it was telling people to "go crazy and be famous," Todd Finn told the Post. "I don't want to give up this thing just to get more pictures of big manufacturers and big companies... Nazism is not a joke."
