PANews reported on February 9 that according to Sina Finance, on the day when DeepSeek officially clarified that it had "never issued any virtual currency", the prices of some fake DeepSeek tokens quickly "cleared to zero", and multiple virtual currencies named "DeepSeek", "DeepSeekAI", "DeepSeekR1", etc., have now "shut down". Among the many fake DeepSeek tokens, there is a fake DeepSeek token called "Seek", which was launched on January 28. Before the plunge, its market value had reached 48 million US dollars. 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 remind that the 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 virtual currency project is very small, so it is easy to be manipulated, and the currency value may also fall rapidly or return to zero. Once investors are "cut leeks" by the project party, it is difficult to track down the specific person in charge or entity.
