GTA 6 Creator’s Stock Hits Solana as Netflix Special Approaches

A tokenized version of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) publisher Take-Two Interactive Software’s (TTWO) stock has launched on Solana through Backpack Securities. Holders can now trade the company’s equity straight from a compatible crypto wallet.

The listing arrives as Netflix readies an exclusive extended look at GTA 6. The special airs August 27. It lands ahead of the game’s November 19 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

How the TTWO Tokenized Stock Trades on Solana

Backpack Securities is the tokenization arm of the Solana-based exchange Backpack. It minted the wrapped TTWO shares and listed them across several venues.

Backpack frames the tokens as direct equity claims rather than synthetic price trackers. Each one represents a 1:1 redeemable stake in TTWO shares held through a dedicated custody vehicle, not a derivative contract that only mirrors the stock’s price.

“Unlike synthetic alternatives, Backpack investors hold full ownership of the traded U.S. equities, backed by the depth of traditional exchange liquidity,” Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante, via GlobeNewswire

The tokens still settle instantly and trade outside Nasdaq’s normal hours, unlike the underlying stock itself.

The wrapped stock last changed hands at $233.79, according to live BeInCrypto data. That price held flat over the past 24 hours. Market capitalization stands near $288,438, and the token touched an all-time high of $238.10 on August 6.

This listing follows a broader push to move equities onchain. Backpack tokenized SpaceX shares in June. Robinhood Chain, meanwhile, leads rival platforms in tokenized stock holders, even though meme coins still dominate its trading volume.

GTA 6 Hype Builds Around the Netflix Reveal

Netflix confirmed the GTA 6 special through its Tudum editorial hub. The premiere runs on Netflix first, at 3 p.m. ET on August 27, before Rockstar Games posts it to YouTube and the official GTA VI site six hours later.

Rockstar has not detailed the extended look’s exact contents, though it has billed the special as more than a standard trailer. The story itself follows two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, across the fictional state of Leonida after a heist collapses.

Anticipation for the game has been building for months. Take-Two’s July filing confirmed the release date and projected over a billion dollars in fiscal 2027 cash flow. Rising chip costs have also pushed console prices higher across the industry, adding pressure just as GTA 6 nears launch.

Wall Street analysts remain bullish on the underlying stock regardless. Twenty-nine analysts tracked by S&P Global hold a Strong Buy rating on TTWO. Their consensus price target sits at $284.14, according to stockanalysis.com, with individual targets ranging from $170 to $368.

Investors can track the current TTWO price on BeInCrypto’s Markets page as the Netflix premiere nears. The coming weeks will show whether the tokenized shares can keep pace with Wall Street’s optimism heading into the GTA 6 launch.
