The floor price of RTFKT's NFT series Clone X surged approximately 340% over the past 7 days, and the market speculates that LVMH and Pudgy Penguins may be the acquirers.

CoinVoice has learned that the RTFKT-owned NFT series Clone X has recently shown strong price performance. NFT Price Floor data indicates that the floor price of Clone X is now 0.38 ETH, reaching a new high since April 2024, with a 7-day increase of 339.8%. The series briefly touched 0.44 ETH last weekend, with a significant increase in trading activity. Price fluctuations of Clone X are mainly influenced by the latest news of “Nike selling RTFKT.” Nike quietly completed the sale of RTFKT in December 2025, and the buyer’s identity and specific terms remain confidential. The market generally expects that after RTFKT’s separation from Nike, it may follow the path of NFTs like Pudgy Penguins and Moonbirds, which were revitalized through brand restructuring after acquisition. Currently, co-founder of Improbable Herman Narula, Yuga Labs (the parent company of BAYC), billionaire collector Adam Weitsman, and others have all explicitly denied involvement in the acquisition. Community speculation suggests that the most likely buyers include LVMH and Pudgy Penguins. LVMH Group and its family members are experienced players in NFTs and have a strong historical collaboration with Clone X creator Takashi Murakami; Pudgy Penguins has close ties with RTFKT. According to crypto influencer @baofuliu, RTFKT founder Zaptio attended a co-creation event with Pudgy Penguins last year and later posted “Clones are so back,” hinting at a revival of the project. Additionally, Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz held Clone X NFTs four years ago and has successful experience in NFT revival. It should be noted that all the above acquisition information is based on market speculation and has not been officially confirmed, and does not constitute investment advice.
