GTA 6 trailer now Dacity Coin, the same named Solana Meme coin skyrocketed 2900%
On Thursday, Rockstar released the trailer for the launch of "GTA 6," in which an airplane's fuselage is printed with the words "DacityCoin AudaCity," and a character ignites a neon pink flare on the wing. The term "Dacity Coin" appears for only about two seconds but triggers a surge in on-chain transactions. Within an hour of the trailer's release, a meme coin of the same name on Solana skyrocketed 2900% from a market value of $104,000, reaching a peak of $3.18 million. Since the token was created five days before the trailer was released, traders had ample time to buy in before the surge.
The birth of this token stems from game footage of "GTA 6" leaked by the notorious Rockstar hacker "Cyberleek," which featured Dacity Coin, though only a few traders noticed at the time. The coin launched on October 11 on the Solana new listing platform Pump.fun, with its market value briefly soaring to $1.14 million, then falling back to $144,700 and consolidating until it surged again on Thursday. According to DEX Screener data, 24 traders made over $10,000 in profit on this token, with the highest earner turning $1,912 into $44,000. Currently, Dacity's market value is $1.5 million, down about 53% from its peak of $3.18 million.
According to the GTA wiki, the game's protagonist, Lucia, is asked to promote the AudaCity brand with parachuting stunts and attract investment for Dacity Coin. If true, the game seems to satirize the various extreme performances that meme coin creators have conducted over the years to promote their tokens. There have been precedents for similar situations: in February 2025, "Fortnite" introduced a fictional cryptocurrency called Dill Bits, after which a real token of the same name appeared on Solana, peaking at a market value of $4.78 million before plummeting 96%; in April of the same year, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney called it a scam, after which the coin surged 2700% and then dropped 82% within days. Rockstar has yet to respond regarding Dacity Coin.
