- Killer Whales Season 2 released a five-episode series focused on cryptocurrency projects but lacked clear prize details.
- The show features judges with questionable profiles, including former Trump appointee Anthony Scaramucci, and suffers from weak production quality.
- Viewership dropped sharply from nearly 25,000 to just a few hundred by episode four.
- Most featured projects declined significantly in token value since May, with only two projects showing modest gains.
- The series has been compared unfavorably to Shark Tank, with unclear rewards and little audience engagement.
The second season of Killer Whales, a cryptocurrency-themed reality series by Hello Labs and CoinMarketCap, premiered in May and is available on platforms like Google Play, Apple TV, and YouTube. The series spans five episodes and features various crypto projects but does not clearly specify the prizes awarded to participants.
The show claims to offer $1.5 million in prizes, including an accelerator program from CoinMarketCap. However, the exact benefits of this program and other rewards remain unspecified. Projects accepted by judges may receive small portions of the prize pool, but these amounts are minimal compared to the venture capital many projects have already raised.
Judges include figures such as Anthony Scaramucci, a former Trump administration appointee, along with other crypto influencers and exchange executives. The series also briefly featured streamer Aiden Ross, who appeared in only the first few minutes of episode one. The production features a low-budget set and lacks distinctive content, making it difficult to tell projects apart.
Early viewership data shows a decline from about 25,000 views for episode one to just several hundred for episode four. The limited audience response suggests a lack of broad interest in the show’s format and content. Episode highlights include moments like a project promoting 3D NFTs and a funded memecoin linked to a Cybertruck.
Since the show’s release, most featured tokens have fallen in market value. For example, WAGMI Games dropped by 93%, Brett on Based by 60%, and Elixir Games by 72%. Only two tokens—Birb and TransHuman Coin—recorded gains of 6.7% and 15%, respectively; both had no backing from the show’s judges.
Critics note the series fails to provide a clear structure or stakes for participants, diverging from the investment-focused format seen on shows like Shark Tank. This lack of clarity and insufficient audience engagement has hindered the show’s impact in the crypto community.
For additional viewing, episodes one through four of Killer Whales are freely accessible on YouTube. Further information and opinions on the show can be found in related articles and social media coverage from Protos on platforms such as X, Google News, and YouTube.
