DeepSeek mania spawns shadow market

Investors eager to invest in DeepSeek, the cutting-edge AI project from a Chinese lab, are turning to a shadow market where groups that have been allocated shares are reselling them at a premium. This surge in demand highlights the intense interest in tech innovation and the lengths people will go to access promising new developments. The emergence of this unofficial market underscores the broader trend of high stakes in emerging tech sectors and raises questions about regulatory oversight and the future of investment in AI.
