The Solana-based meme coin CYBERLEEK, promoted by the person or group allegedly behind the GTA VI leaks, surged 35% in a single day, extending its seven‑day rally to nearly 40,000%. The token now trades at roughly $0.028 as fresh gameplay footage continues to appear alongside its promotion. The group claims the token funds a “secret project” for infrastructure and security, and it has burned approximately $1.5 million in developer tokens to counter accusations of a pump‑and‑dump scheme. Transaction fees collected amount to $40,000‑$70,000, and the group previously sought a 400‑Monero donation (about $165,000) for advertising deals. Take‑Two Interactive is seeking data from Microsoft and Discord to identify the leakers.
CYBERLEEK, a Solana‑based meme coin tied to the alleged GTA VI leakers, jumped 35% in the past 24 hours. Its seven‑day rally has reached nearly 40,000%, with the token now trading around $0.028.
Fresh GTA VI gameplay footage continues to appear alongside promotion of the token. International Cyber Digest reported that the group has burned almost $1.5 million worth of developer tokens to argue the meme coin is not a pump‑and‑dump scheme.
The group has collected an estimated $40,000 to $70,000 in transaction fees. It also sought a 400‑Monero donation, worth roughly $165,000, to initiate contact for potential advertising deals.
CyberLeek began posting GTA VI gameplay footage last week, which included details about the game’s map and free‑roam gameplay. The posts were later removed from X after a copyright strike from Rockstar Games.
The group said the token was created to raise funds for a “secret project” that cannot yet be disclosed. It denied that the project is a cash grab and added that funding is intended for infrastructure and protection against corporate counterattacks.
On Monday, the token’s market capitalization briefly exceeded $20 million. According to its now‑blocked website, the group’s actions were driven by objections to anti‑consumer practices in the gaming industry.
Despite Take‑Two Interactive seeking information from Microsoft and Discord to identify those behind the leaks, two more videos were released on August 22. Take‑Two said the leaked material had been posted through GitHub and Discord.
Microsoft stated it was working with Rockstar to protect intellectual property, while Discord said it reviews valid DMCA subpoenas. Rockstar has not publicly confirmed whether the footage is authentic.
