Los Angeles, February 28 – H3 Entertainment, at the forefront of integrating Web3 technology with digital storytelling, is thrilled to share the latest developments surrounding its groundbreaking short series, Cryptic Whale. During ETH Denver 2025, H3 Entertainment revealed that the first season of Cryptic Whale has officially wrapped filming in the United States. The first three episodes are now streaming on YouTube, garnering significant attention from a rapidly growing global audience.
Cryptic Whale is based on an original story by renowned cryptocurrency KOL (Key Opinion Leader) “JiaMiXingTuan.” The series delves deep into the world of cryptocurrency, blending action, drama, and time-travel with an exploration of the digital era’s complexities. In its creation, H3 Entertainment has collaborated extensively with its community, incorporating fan feedback and ideas into the production process—an integral element of the Web3 experience.
Jaysen Lai, CEO of H3 Entertainment, expressed excitement about the series' reception, stating, "With Cryptic Whale, we're not just telling a story about cryptocurrency, but about the human experience in a world that is increasingly digital and decentralized. The community’s participation has been crucial to this series, and it continues to shape its journey."
The first season's remaining episodes are now in the final stages of post-production and are expected to be released in the first half of 2024. As the series progresses, it will continue to explore the highs and lows of the crypto world, with Joe’s journey becoming increasingly complex and thrilling.
Season two expansion and filming in the Middle East
H3 Entertainment has also confirmed that the second season of Cryptic Whale will be filmed in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s Dubai. This season will explore Joe's journey as a successful figure in the cryptocurrency industry, who, after accumulating wealth, travels back in time to experience the booming crypto market in the Middle East.
"We are thrilled to expand the story to the Middle East," said Mark Rau, executive producer of Cryptic Whale. "The region's rapidly evolving cryptocurrency sector offers a unique opportunity to explore new stories and challenges in the digital economy. Season two will take Joe's story to new heights as we explore the intersection of power, wealth, and digital innovation in this exciting region."
H3 Entertainment’s partnership with local entertainment and media companies in the UAE and Saudi Arabia is part of a larger effort to explore cultural stories and histories from the region. The integration of Web3 technologies with these new projects will offer a fresh, immersive experience for audiences, combining modern digital trends with traditional storytelling.
Community engagement and future collaborations
One of the most exciting aspects of Cryptic Whale is its commitment to community-driven content. As the series moves into its second season, H3 Entertainment will expand the role of the Web3 community, with more direct contributions from fans shaping the series' storyline. This collaborative approach exemplifies the power of Web3, where audiences can actively participate in the creative process.
"Web3 is revolutionizing how entertainment is created and consumed. The ability to involve the community not just as viewers but as contributors in shaping the content is a unique and exciting shift," said Lai. "As we continue to evolve Cryptic Whale, the community’s involvement will only grow, making the show more interactive and collaborative."
As part of its ongoing Web3 initiatives, H3 Entertainment is also opening up collaboration opportunities for those interested in working on Cryptic Whale. Whether through content partnerships, brand collaborations, product placements, or co-marketing with Web3 projects, H3 Entertainment is welcoming collaborations to further expand the reach and impact of the series.
