US Orders Civilian Agencies to Rip DeepSeek Out of Government Systems

The Department of Homeland Security has directed civilian agencies to remove China's DeepSeek AI and any services built on it from government systems, and to stop purchasing it, citing the risk of sensitive data reaching Beijing. The order targets a specific AI vendor rather than crypto assets, so it has no direct bearing on token prices. Traders may note it as part of broader US-China tech decoupling, but the immediate market relevance is limited.
