Bitcoin Dips Below $81K as Crude Surges and Fed Signals Hawkish
Bitcoin fell below $81,000 on Thursday as oil surged and a Fed official signaled more rate hikes are likely.
GTA VI leaker Cyberleek returns with new gameplay clips and continues promoting their crypto, but token gains have slowed.
The anonymous GTA VI leaker known as āCyberleekā ā the same person who previously employed spoilers to inflate a crypto token ā is now uploading what appears to be gameplay clips showing GTA VI characters in the nude.
After a period away from the internet, Cyberleek came back this week and shared 25 minutes of footage that they claim includes additional unseen open-world gameplay and mission cutscenes.
Significantly, the footage depicts protagonist Jason moving about without clothes, while his in-game partner Lucia wears only bikini bottoms.
A first-person mode has also been reportedly uncovered.
On August 18, Cyberleek released their initial set of GTA VI leaks, leveraging them to advertise the cryptocurrency $CYBERLEEK. At that time, they maintained that they were also standing up for consumer rights by objecting to the removal of physical discs.
Over the past two days, the token's market capitalization has seen two modest increases, totaling a 200% gain. Still, it remains 94% below its nearly $40 million peak from late August, when the initial leaks surfaced.
The flood of leaks prompted Rockstar Games, the developer behind GTA VI, to release a statement in the lead-up to its 20-minute streaming event held in partnership with Netflix.
In the statement, Rockstar said its team was āheartbrokenā over the leaks and called it āunfortunate that the intended game experience may now be impacted by some spoilers.ā
Take-Two Interactive, which owns Rockstar Games, also submitted multiple subpoenas to platforms including Discord, Microsoft, and X, aiming to unmask the person behind the leaks.
GTA VI is set to launch on November 19. According to reports, it has already accumulated close to $430 million in pre-orders.
The actions of Cyberleek are increasingly worrying players that important story details of GTA VI could be leaked before release.
Consequently, some users are recommending that keywords be muted on social platforms to prevent encountering spoilers.
