Amid reports of DeepSeek seeking $8 billion at a $74 billion valuation, prediction market Polymarket reveals specific IPO timeline expectations. Market data shows traders are pricing a 72% chance that DeepSeek will complete its IPO by the end of 2027.
Background information indicates DeepSeek previously raised $7.4 billion in June at a valuation exceeding $50 billion. Driven by high compute costs for frontier model development, the lab—which historically preferred internal funding—is shifting toward public capital. It plans to file for an IPO on Shanghai's STAR market by late this year or early 2027.
