Is it true that Cryptocurrency mining uses graphics processing units (GPUs) to perform its hashing calculations?

Yes. A reference article on GPU mining states directly that graphics processing units are used to mine proof-of-work cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, and several other sources list cryptocurrency mining among GPU applications. One perspective paper notes that cryptocurrencies rely on specialized ASIC hardware, which qualifies but does not overturn the GPU-mining account.
