RTFKT's NFT series Clone X floor price soared about 340% on the 7th, and the market speculated that LVMH and Pudgy Penguins might be the acquirers

Comparing news, RTFKT's NFT series Clone X has had strong price performance recently. According to NFT Price Floor data, the Clone X floor price is now reported at 0.38 ETH, a new high since April 2024, with an increase of 339.8% over the past 7 days. The series hit 0.44 ETH last weekend, and trading activity increased significantly. The Clone X price change was mainly affected by the “Nike sells RTFKT” news.

Nike quietly completed the sale of RTFKT in December 2025. Currently, the buyer's identity and specific terms are still confidential. The market generally expects that after leaving Nike, RTFKT is expected to follow the post-acquisition path of NFTs such as Pudgy Penguins and Moonbirds to achieve a second level of popularity through rebranding. Currently, Improbable's co-founder Herman Narula, BAYC parent company Yuga Labs, and billionaire collector Adam Weitsman have all clearly denied participating in the acquisition. The most likely acquirers the community has speculated include LVMH and Pudgy Penguins.

Among them, members of the LVMH Group and the head family are veteran NFT players, and the brand has a deep foundation of historical cooperation with Clone X creator Takashi; Pudgy Penguins is closely linked to RTFKT. According to crypto KOL @baofuliu analysis, RTFKT founder Zaptio had a co-creation party with Pudgy Penguins last year, and then posted “Clones are so back” to suggest a revival of the project. Meanwhile, Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, held Clone X NFTs as early as 4 years ago and has had a successful NFT revival experience. It should be noted that the above acquisition information is all market speculation, has not been officially confirmed, and does not constitute an investment opinion.
