The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has sparked excitement among crypto traders after mentioning a fictional Dacity Coin. A previous leak of the game suggested that the protagonist, Lucia, would need to perform stunts to promote the coin, similar to how real-world meme coins are pumped. In response, traders have created an unofficial Solana-based meme coin named Dacity Coin, which briefly reached a market capitalization of $15 million.
Some traders believe the coin will play a significant role in the game, potentially becoming a tradable in-game asset. Others think it will only appear in a few side missions. The official trailer showed a wing walker using Dacity Coin branding, fueling speculation that the coin could feature in multiple stunts. The coin is also linked to an in-game brand called AudaCity, which appears to be its creator.
Traders like Nicstho and Corey Ape speculate that Dacity Coin could be tradable in both single-player and multiplayer modes, similar to how stocks were traded in GTA V. However, they acknowledge that the real-world token has no official ties to the game. One trader reported unrealized profits of $285,000 from a $20,000 investment, though meme coins are notoriously volatile.
Rockstar Games has not commented on the speculation, leaving traders eagerly awaiting the game's November release in hopes of a potential price surge for the unofficial token.
