After DeepSeek clarified that it had not issued virtual currency, the prices of some counterfeit tokens were quickly "cleared".
Internet reports that on the day DeepSeek officially clarified that "no virtual currency has ever been issued," the prices of some counterfeit DeepSeek tokens were quickly "cleared". Transactions on multiple virtual coins named with names such as "DeepSeek","DeepSeek AI" and "DeepSeek R1" have been "stalled". Among the many fake DeepSeek tokens, there is a fake DeepSeek token called "Seek" that was launched on January 28. Before the collapse, its market value reached $48 million. Security company BlockAid reported that 75 fake DeepSeek tokens have been created on the Ethereum and Solana networks, with a fraud amount of 420 million yuan. Lawyers warned that issuers of such virtual currencies may have bad motives such as confusing the public, making quick profits, and evading supervision. At the same time, the "plate" of this kind of virtual coin project is very small, so it can be easily manipulated, and the value of the currency may fall rapidly or return to zero. Once an investor is "cut off" by the project party, it will be difficult to trace the specific person or entity in charge.
