The Chinese AI system DeepSeek showed impressive results in an experimental crypto trading competition, where several models traded with the same capital of $10,000.
According to media reports, DeepSeek was able to increase its account by approximately 20 percent, while other participants, including #Gemini and #GPT-5, recorded losses. The model gained its leading position thanks to successful bets on the growth of major cryptocurrencies, especially on a deal with XRP.
The contest organizers call the test the first public experiment with real funds and transparent transactions. However, no independent confirmation or detailed trading logs have been published yet. This raises questions about the testing methodology and how well the results reflect real market conditions. Short-term profits may be due to good timing rather than unique algorithms.
Experts warn that using leverage of up to fifteen times increases not only profits but also the risk of liquidation. In addition, if many traders and #AI use the same strategies, the market may lose stability and become unpredictable. Binance CEO #Changpeng Zhao noted that mass adherence to a single trading logic can cause synchronous price fluctuations and increase volatility.
Analysts believe that long-term monitoring and independent auditing are necessary for an objective assessment of #DeepSeek's capabilities. Without transparent data on commissions, risks, and technical costs, it is too early to talk about a real breakthrough. For now, DeepSeek's success looks more like a spectacular media story than proof of the superiority of artificial intelligence over human traders.
