A Solana -based token named after the application of Chinese AI Deepseek briefly reached a market capitalization of $ 48 million, driven by $ 150 million in commercial volume.
Another false token out of the name Deepseek also gained ground, culminating in a market capitalization of $ 13 million alongside 28.5 million dollars in negotiation volume before moving to $ 8.6 million. These fraudulent tokens have added concerns about scams exploiting popular trends in cryptocurrency markets.
Similar malware increased after the launch of Donald Trump’s official (Trump) play on January 18. The Blockaid safety company reported an increase in “Trump” brand tokens of a daily average of 3,300 to 6,800. Among these, 61 tokens were identified as pretender to be official pieces of Trump or Melania, collectively collecting $ 4.8 million from 12,641 wallets.
The crooks also started to target x accounts to promote false tokens. The investigator of Crypto Zachxbt underlined a change in the tactics of the scam, the pirates now focusing on celebrity profiles instead of government or political accounts. This method takes advantage of high -level names to gain credibility and deceive users.
The media threshing surrounding Deepseek has also drawn more attention to the competitive landscape of artificial intelligence. Some analysts have suggested that the success of the application contributed to the Bitcoin fall below $ 100,000 for the first time since Donald Trump took office. Its rapid increase is considered a potential challenge for American domination in AI innovation, which has caused strategic responses.
On January 23, former President Trump signed an executive decree aimed at ensuring American leadership in artificial intelligence. The directive highlighted the importance of developing exempt from ideological biases or modified social agendas, reflecting concerns about the wider IA impact on technology and markets.
Incidents involving Deepseek and Trump tokens highlight the risk of fraudulent activity in the cryptocurrency space. Users are invited to be cautious, to verify the legitimacy of the tokens and to remain informed to avoid being the victim of scams. This underlines the continuous challenges of industry as it sails in its growth and generalized adoption.
