Golden Finance reported that on the day DeepSeek officially clarified that "no virtual currency was issued", some impersonated DeepSeek tokens were quickly "cleared", and several virtual coins named after "DeepSeek", "DeepSeekAI", "DeepSeekR1", etc. The transaction has now been "shut down". Among the many fake DeepSeek tokens, there is a fake DeepSeek token called "Seek", which was launched on January 28. Its market capitalization reached $48 million before the plunge. Security firm BlockAid reported that 75 fake DeepSeek tokens have been created on Ethereum and Solana networks, with the fraud amount reaching 420 million yuan. Lawyers remind that the issuers of this type of virtual currency may have bad motivations 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 an investor is "cut" by the project party, it will be difficult to track down the specific person in charge or entity.
