A suspected Grand Theft Auto 6 leaker appears to have profited from a Solana memecoin tied to leaked gameplay footage, with the token reaching about $25 million in market value before the owner began selling.
The CYBERLEEK token surged as traders linked it to the leaked footage. Its contract owner received about $146,000 in wrapped SOL and 15.4 million tokens in creator fees. Blockchain data shows the wallet later sold the allocation for about $125,000 worth of SOL.
CYBERLEEK Plunges After Suspected Cash-Out
The sale came hours before Rockstar’s official gameplay reveal, sending CYBERLEEK down from a peak of $0.0344. CoinMarketCap data shows the token now trades near $0.0061, with a market value of about $7 million.

Rockstar called the leaks “heartbreaking for the team.” Take-Two Interactive expects GTA 6 to help drive $8 billion to $8.2 billion in fiscal 2027 bookings.
