[DeepSeek Announces Suspension of Second-Round Financing, Partly Due to Founder Liang Wenfeng's Dissatisfaction with Online Reports on His Remarks] BlockBeats News, July 25 — DeepSeek has announced the suspension of its second-round financing and has verbally informed some potential investors that the investment agreements will not be signed as initially planned. The suspension is partly due to dissatisfaction expressed by founder Liang Wenfeng regarding online reports about his remarks during the first-round financing process. DeepSeek may still choose to resume the transaction process at a later date and has already begun preparations for an initial public offering (IPO), which could be filed as early as this year.
