Adin Ross and Richard’s “Faze Banks” Bengtson reveals their plans to create a custom server for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) that integrates cryptocurrency into the game’s economy .
The duo is known for their impact in the gaming and streaming communities, and he intends to launch servers with his own cryptocurrency to provide a new type of in-game economy.
However, despite ambitious plans, history shows that Rockstar Games, the developer of the GTA series, is unlikely to use cryptocurrency in the game.

Encrypted-driven “GTA 6” server
In a recent live stream, Adin Ross shared his vision for a new GTA 6 server and noted that it will be entirely focused on cryptocurrencies. He and Faze Banks plan to create a server that will not only incorporate new digital coins, but will also promote economies in games based on cryptocurrencies. Ross described the server as possibly the largest of its kind.
Faze Banks further explained that the server will rely heavily on new coins for trading, giving players the opportunity to participate in a decentralized economy.
Ross and the Bank are planning a large amount of financial investment to ensure the success of the server and position the project as development and development in the gaming field. However, Rockstar’s historical stance on cryptocurrencies could hinder the planning of such crypto-fueled GTA 6 servers.

Rockstar Games’ History and Encryption Ban
In 2022, Rockstar Games published an article clarifying its position on using cryptocurrencies and NFTs in GTA Online and Red Dead Online. The company bans the integration of these technologies into player-run servers, citing their impact on the gaming economy and user experience.
This decision led to the shutdown of some fan-made GTA servers that introduced cryptocurrency-based and NFT-based assets. It is worth noting that rapper Lil Durk’s Trenches Server (with NFTS) was forced to shut down Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive, sending legal notices to those operating the server. Repression shows that if Ross and Banks continue to execute plans, they may face legal obstacles to Rockstar, which remains restricted in the game at all times Policy on the use of cryptocurrencies.
Despite Rockstar’s firm stance, there are rumors that GTA 6 may represent a change in the company’s attitude toward cryptocurrencies. Guessing is coming, and the upcoming title can introduce cryptocurrency rewards in the game or allow crypto payments. However, the rumors have not been confirmed and Rockstar has not made any official comments on the matter.
In addition, Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive expressed interest in blockchain technology in 2022 through its acquisition of mobile game publisher Zynga. Zynga is involved in the development of NFT-based games, which can indicate that Take-Two is exploring opportunities in the Web3 space, although it is not clear whether this will have any impact on the GTA franchise.
While it’s not yet certain whether Rockstar’s policy will evolve, the launch of GTA 6 will be a critical moment to determine whether the company is willing to allow crypto integration. When the game is released later this year, Ross and Banks’ plans may ultimately depend on Rockstar’s position.
