Quentin Tarantino to offer seven uncut scenes from Pulp Fiction as NFTs
Summary
Announced Tuesday, the award-winning director and writer is auctioning off seven uncut scenes from "Pulp Fiction" as nonfungible tokens, also including original handwritten scripts from the film and exclusive audio commentary from Tarantino himself. While opt-in identity and transaction protection bring blockchain technology closer to cash and traditional finance, enhanced anonymity in an already opaque space could intensify heat from regulators. In fact, privacy coin Monero caught the eye of the IRS in 2020, when the government agency offered a $625,000 bounty to contractors that helped trace its transactions. MGM recently partnered with VeVe to launch NFTs for "No Time to Die," making it the first James Bond film with digital collectibles. Tarantino is scheduled to comment on the "Pulp Fiction" nonfungible tokens during a panel alongside crypto investor Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital, and others, at the NFT NYC conference Tuesday afternoon.
