DeepSeek Watch posted an update
DeepSeek has hired China Securities as an adviser for a planned IPO and added a CFO in September, TokenPost reports. The moves come as the Chinese AI developer pursues a new funding round.
Why it mattersThe earlier financing plan targeted 100 billion yuan, with a proposed pre-money valuation near 500 billion yuan, according to the report. That puts some numbers around the preparations, though an adviser and finance hire are steps towards a listing, not proof that one is imminent.
Discuss: Does bringing in IPO expertise make a DeepSeek listing feel more likely, or is it still too early to read much into these preparations?
