The arrival of the long-awaited GTA 6 has finally been marked by its official release yesterday, a day before the expected date. Rockstar Games made sure to fuel the anticipation shortly after celebrating the tenth anniversary of GTA 5. The past instalment of this phenomenally popular game franchise is the second-largest seller, having racked up over 190 million copies sold. As a result, Grand Theft Auto’s avid followers have been eagerly awaiting updates on what’s in store for the upcoming chapter. Market data suggests that this release could make $8 billion come Fiscal Year 2035. In addition to that, speculations are abound on whether GTA 6 will involve a crypto element. However, it is too early to determine that with certainty.
As the launch of the much awaited appendix moved into action, it was interesting to analyse the movement of the top gaming tokens in response to the trailer. A glance at CoinMarketCap details that the majority of tokens boasted single-digit upswings while several, namely Immutable (IMX), Axie Infinity (AXS), and GALA experienced corresponding growth. Meanwhile, Internet Computer (ICP) and Render (RNDR) had largely opposite reactions, dropping around 7%.
The reaction wasn’t ttoo striking though, trading volumes encountered a notable boost of 96.26% within the past day amounting to almost $3.8 billion. In conclusion, it is safe to wave that question and wait before a conclusion can be made as to the lasting effect of the game on those symbols.
