Proposed GTA VI Currency Sharkbux Raises Questions Over Solana Integration
- Two SEC comment PDFs dated August describe a proposed currency called Sharkbux for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI.
- The documents indicate that transfers of Sharkbux would be limited to company-mediated mechanisms, with no free transfer for ordinary players.
- A supplemental PDF mentions a potential SPL-token architecture on Solana, but lacks details on official token minting or deployment.
- The associated Solana wallet reportedly holds over 600,000 units of a newly created TAKE2 token, tagged as “Meme” and “Pump.fun.”
- Take-Two’s recent earnings release confirms GTA VI’s release date as November 19, but does not mention Sharkbux or any blockchain integration.
The SEC-hosted files represent unverified proposals rather than confirmed plans from Take-Two Interactive or Rockstar Games regarding a cryptocurrency for GTA VI. The lack of official endorsement raises doubts about the authenticity of the submissions and their purpose in potentially promoting a memecoin.
Without concrete evidence from Take-Two or Rockstar, the connection between Sharkbux and GTA VI remains speculative despite mentions in SEC filings and ongoing activity around the associated Solana wallet holding TAKE2 tokens. (Source)
