Top NFT News 3rd Week Of October 2025
The non-fungible token space entered the third week with sad news after the NFT market lost +1.2 billion. Data compiled by DefilLama, a decentralised finance aggregator, indicated that top non-fungible token projects saw their floor prices sink by double digits in the past seven days. Blue-chip NFT collections like Pudgy Penguins, Lil Pudgy, Checks, and Doodles were among the hardest hit. NFT Investors were shaken after President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs on imports from China and Canada.
The non-fungible token community suffered a huge blow in the third week of October after Benoit Pagotto passed away. Pagotto was the co-founder of the digital asset incubation studio ‘RTFKT,’ which was later acquired by Nike, an American athletic footwear and apparel corporation. In response to this sad news, Clone X, an NFT collection from RTFKT, tanked more than 51% from its initial daily sales volume.
Today I framed and hung up the original signed poster of the late Benoit Pagotto’s CloneX.
I was a dedicated @RTFKT collector and we met a few times in Tokyo, Paris and New York – Benoit was a visionary ahead of his time!
My sincere condolences to his family, friends and all… pic.twitter.com/igD66f8clp
