₿- Speculation is growing that GTA 6 could feature a native in-game cryptocurrency, possibly called $RSTAR, sparking excitement across both gaming and crypto communities.
₿- GTA-themed meme coins are rapidly appearing on the Solana blockchain, gaining attention but raising concerns due to their unofficial nature and lack of transparency.
₿- While Rockstar has previously restricted crypto use in modded servers, the industry’s recovery since 2024 has led some to believe that a more controlled integration could still be possible.
The buzz around Grand Theft Auto VI is reaching new heights, especially after Rockstar Games dropped its much-anticipated trailer earlier this week. Set for release in 2026, the game promises a gripping storyline featuring Lucia and Jason tearing through the criminal underworld of the fictional Leonida. But beyond the action and visuals, another topic has fans and investors talking — the potential integration of cryptocurrency.
Crypto in GTA 6: Real Deal or Just Rumours?
Speculation around GTA 6 embracing cryptocurrency has intensified, with the crypto community combing through the trailer for clues. Some enthusiasts believe Rockstar might introduce a native in-game currency, possibly named $RSTAR, that could be built on blockchain. Others imagine players earning and spending crypto for in-game assets or missions.
However, Rockstar Games hasn’t confirmed any such plans. And given its past actions, the idea may be far-fetched.
In 2022, Rockstar banned all crypto and NFT elements from GTA V roleplay servers. At the time, the move was seen as a way to protect the gaming community from crypto scams and unregulated assets during the bear market. Yet, with the industry bouncing back since late 2024, some believe Rockstar could revisit the idea under stricter terms.
Meme Coins Flooding Solana: A Red Flag for Gamers
The hype around GTA 6 and crypto has triggered a wave of unofficial GTA-themed meme coins on the Solana blockchain. These tokens, often named after game characters like Lucia, have seen sharp price spikes — but many lack whitepapers, utility, or developer transparency. With no endorsement from Rockstar or Take-Two Interactive, these tokens present a real danger to unsuspecting investors.
These pump-and-dump schemes are riding the popularity of GTA without offering any real value. Fans should be wary and avoid falling for projects that exist solely to capitalise on GTA 6’s momentum.
What If Rockstar Does Add Crypto?
If Rockstar decides to integrate crypto into GTA 6, the impact could be huge. With one of the world’s biggest gaming titles on board, blockchain adoption could skyrocket. Some streamers like Adin Ross and members of FaZe Clan have even teased building GTA VI roleplay servers powered by crypto economies — although Rockstar’s current policies would prohibit such actions.
For now, it’s all just speculation. Until Rockstar officially confirms crypto features, it’s best to stay cautious and avoid buying into the hype.
