Rumors of the next GTA installment surface again! Well-known gaming industry leaker claims: "Grand Theft Auto 6" will introduce cryptocurrency in the game.

Although Rockstar Games has not officially announced it yet, rumors about "Grand Theft Auto 6" have been circulating in the gaming community. The latest rumor claims that Grand Theft Auto 6 will introduce in-game cryptocurrency as an additional payment tool besides cash in the game.

GTA 6 to Incorporate Cryptocurrency Elements

Some of the biggest rumors surrounding "Grand Theft Auto 6" include: the game's codename being "Project Americas," the introduction of the first-ever female protagonist, the game spanning multiple cities in the United States, and the setting being in the 70s or 80s.

Today, a well-known insider in the gaming industry, Tom Henderson, took to Twitter to suggest that Rockstar Games will introduce a cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin in the upcoming installment. Players will receive cryptocurrency as rewards for completing certain missions, and the game will reintroduce stock market functionality. The in-game cryptocurrency will fluctuate based on the in-game market trends.

(It is important to note that the cryptocurrency mentioned by Tom Henderson is within the game and does not imply that "Grand Theft Auto 6" will issue real cryptocurrency.)

I heard recently that in GTA 6, some missions will reward you in bitcoin instead of cash for completing some missions.

The stock market feature will return, with the addition of a broker for different cryptocurrencies. If GTA 6 incorporates this right, it's huge for crypto.

"If there is a character in GTA 6 resembling Elon Musk, and he messes with my cryptocurrency causing it to drop, I will definitely make him eat lead."
