Rumors that the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 will utilize cryptocurrency have been circulating for more than a year now—and they’re swirling again. Recent claims by a popular Crypto Twitter influencer have reignited speculation, but as of now, there is no official confirmation.
The Source of the Rumors
On Wednesday, a pseudonymous Crypto Twitter influencer called Gordon—apparently named after Gordon Gekko from the iconic 1987 film “Wall Street”—shared with his nearly 500,000 followers that “GTA 6 will enable cryptocurrency payments,” and that “so far only Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT are confirmed.” This tweet quickly went viral, garnering over 500,000 views in just a few hours.
The tweet by Gordon also included a fake trailer for GTA 6, which contributed to its virality. When asked for sources, Gordon humorously replied that his “uncle works there,” or dismissed previous reports as outdated. This playful attitude did little to quell the excitement and speculation among fans and crypto enthusiasts.
Despite the buzz generated by Gordon’s tweet, there has been no official announcement from Rockstar Games or its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, regarding the inclusion of cryptocurrencies in Grand Theft Auto 6. Official trailers and announcements have made no mention of any crypto elements, and Rockstar Games has not responded to inquiries on the matter.
Previous Rumors and Speculation
This is not the first time rumors about cryptocurrencies in GTA 6 have surfaced. Earlier speculation in May 2023 suggested similar possibilities, and the game’s first official trailer, which leaked last December, featured a “BUY BTC” stamp—though this was likely added by the leaker. Despite these hints, there has been no substantial evidence to confirm these rumors.
Potential Impact of Cryptocurrency in GTA 6
The idea of integrating cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum into GTA 6 is tantalizing for many. If such features were implemented, it could represent a significant step forward in the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency within the gaming industry. This potential has fueled much of the ongoing speculation and interest.
While the rumors about Bitcoin and Ethereum in Grand Theft Auto 6 continue to swirl, they remain unconfirmed at this time. For now, fans will have to wait for official news from Rockstar Games and hold on to their excitement as the game’s 2025 release date approaches.
