Rockstar Games Bans NFTs, Crypto From Grand Theft Auto Fan Servers

  • Rockstar Games said that NFTs and cryptocurrency can no longer be used in online Grand Theft Auto V servers.
  • Some online servers use NFTs and/or crypto tokens to represent ownership of unique items or exclusive access.

Alongside fully Web3-native games built around NFTs, we’ve also seen fan-driven attempts to add NFTs and crypto tokens to popular online games like Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V. But Microsoft moved to ban Web3 elements from Minecraft this summer, and now Rockstar Games has done the same with its popular action franchise.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.

The debate, hosted by CNN, primarily focused on the economy, with brief mentions of other issues such as abortion, immigration, and foreign policy. While crypto has been a talking point throughout the election cycle, neither candidate made any significant statements about it during the debate. The crypto industry is hoping for a Congress and administration that will pass legislation friendly to digital asset businesses, and is looking to repeat the massive spending on elections from 2022.
