PANews, January 12 — The NFT series Clone X under RTFKT has shown strong price performance recently. According to NFT Price Floor data, the current floor price of Clone X is 0.38 ETH, marking a new high since April 2024, with a 7-day increase of 339.8%. The series once reached 0.44 ETH last weekend, with a significant rise in trading activity. The price fluctuation of Clone X is mainly influenced by the news of "Nike selling RTFKT." Nike quietly completed the sale of RTFKT in December 2025, but the buyer's identity and specific terms remain confidential. The market generally expects that after separating from Nike, RTFKT may follow the path of other acquired NFT projects such as Pudgy Penguins and Moonbirds, achieving a resurgence through brand repositioning. Currently, Improbable co-founder Herman Narula, BAYC parent company Yuga Labs, and billionaire collector Adam Weitsman have all explicitly denied involvement in the acquisition. The most speculated potential buyers by the community include LVMH and Pudgy Penguins. Among them, members of the LVMH Group and its leading family are experienced NFT players, and the brand has a deep history of collaboration with Clone X creator Takashi Murakami; Pudgy Penguins is closely connected to RTFKT. According to crypto KOL@baofuliu, RTFKT founder Zaptio attended a gathering with Pudgy Penguins co-founders last year, and later posted "Clones are so back," hinting at a project revival. At the same time, Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz has held a CloneX NFT as early as four years ago and has successful experience in reviving NFT projects. It should be noted that all the above acquisition information is market speculation and has not been officially confirmed, and does not constitute investment advice.
