PANews reported on January 12 that RTFKT's Clone X NFT series has recently shown strong price performance. NFT Price Floor data shows that the Clone X floor price is currently at 0.38 ETH, a new high since April 2024, with a 339.8% increase over the past 7 days. The series briefly touched 0.44 ETH last weekend, with a significant increase in trading activity.

The price fluctuations of the Clone X were primarily influenced by 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 widely expects that after separating from Nike , RTFKT may follow the path of other NFTs acquired after being acquired, such as Pudgy Penguins and Moonbirds, achieving a resurgence through brand revival.

Currently, Improbable co-founder Herman Narula, BAYC's parent company Yuga Labs, and billionaire collector Adam Weitsman have all explicitly denied involvement in the acquisition. The community speculates that LVMH and Pudgy Penguins are the most likely acquirers. LVMH and its leadership are veteran NFT enthusiasts, and the brand has a long-standing collaborative history with Clone X creator Takashi Murakami. Pudgy Penguins has close ties to RTFKT; according to crypto KOL @baofuliu , RTFKT founder Zaptio met with Pudgy Penguins co-founders last year and subsequently posted "Clones are so back," hinting at a project revival. Furthermore, Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz has held CloneX NFTs for four years and has successful experience in NFT revival. It's important to note that the above acquisition information is purely speculative and has not been officially confirmed; it does not constitute investment advice.
