Solana2026-08-23 13:41:18CYBERLEEK jumps more than 14x in 24 hours, briefly tops $25 million market capCYBERLEEK, a Solana-based meme token tied to the self-described Cyberleek hacking group, briefly pushed past a $25 million market capitalization on Aug. 23, according to GMGN monitoring cited by BlockBeats. The token also hit a fresh all-time high, with its 24-hour gain exceeding 14x and trading volume reaching $36.1 million. BlockBeats said the group launched the token after gaining attention for leaking clips related to Grand Theft Auto VI, or GTA 6. The same group had claimed it would release a PC download client for the game so users could play it for free, despite describing the title as a $2 billion production. That client claim has since been debunked. On Aug. 22, Cyberleek publicly burned about 270 million developer-reserved tokens, roughly 27% of total supply, and framed the move as proof it would not dump its holdings and exit. Even so, the report noted that the group still retains a large amount of tokens and continues to earn money through trading fees. BlockBeats added a cautionary note, saying meme tokens often lack real-world use cases and can see sharp price swings.1660
GTA 62026-08-23 10:07:10GTA 6 leak clips were used to market a Solana meme coin tied to token-based votingAn anonymous group calling itself CyberLeek has linked alleged Grand Theft Auto VI development footage to a Solana meme coin, $CYBERLEEK, turning each new leak into a distribution and monetization event. According to the MarsBit article by Claude at TechFlow, on-chain records show the token was created 7 hours and 47 minutes before the first leaked game image appeared, and the same Solana wallet funded the domain registration, token launch, liquidity setup, and an account later used to distribute the leaked content. The report says $CYBERLEEK was launched on Aug. 15, reached a peak market cap of 15M, and was around 12M at publication. The token’s structure included a 1 billion supply, locked LP, and revoked mint and freeze permissions, while leaked videos carried an embedded “BUY $CYBERLEEK ON SOLANA” banner and QR code. CyberLeek also ran a voting system in which users sent tokens to a designated wallet, with one token counting as one vote to decide what leak would come next. The article estimates first-day trading volume at $15 million, generating about $30,000 in fees, while actual upfront spending was less than $3,500 if liquidity capital is excluded. It also says the group later burned 270 million reserved tokens, or 27% of supply, even as trading-fee revenue continued. Separately, Take-Two Interactive has sought subpoenas in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York targeting Microsoft and Discord for account information tied to the case.1300
GTA VI2026-08-19 12:36:50GTA VI leaker uses gameplay footage to boost CYBERLEEK tokenAn X user calling themselves CyberLeek posted leaked Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay footage together with the ticker for a crypto token, $CYBERLEEK, and said the token was created to fund a secret project. The footage, which reportedly showed parts of GTA VI’s map and free-roam gameplay, was later no longer viewable on X after a copyright strike from Rockstar Games, the game’s creator. According to Protos, CyberLeek said the fundraising effort was not a “cash grab” and claimed the money would go toward infrastructure, security, and protection needed to carry out action against large corporations. The token’s market capitalization surged nearly 5,800% within an hour to $3.46 million after the posts, before falling to $1.5 million at the time of writing. CyberLeek’s website says the leaks are tied to objections over what it describes as anti-consumer behavior in the video game industry, including digital pre-orders, paywalled single-player content, and the lack of long-term offline access. The account has also threatened to release more footage unless Rockstar Games meets its demands, as debate over GTA VI’s no-disc release plan continues.1440
