Throughout October 2025, the global non-fungible token market has experienced many NFT happenings, from brand integrations to NFT event experiences. These significant developments in the non-fungible token market in October 2025 demonstrate a shift from speculative hype toward practical utility, brand integration, and ecosystem expansion. In this article, we will take you through some of the top news in the NFT market in October 2025.
<h2 id="top-nft-news-1st-week-of-october-2025">Top NFT News 1st Week Of October 2025</h2>
Earlier this month, the United States of America federal Judge Fernado Olgun <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/celebrities-off-the-hook-for-promoting-bored-ape-nft/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">dismissed</a> a class action against top music celebrities, including Justin Bieber, Paris Hilton, Madonna and more. These music celebrities were charged with a class action lawsuit for promoting the Bored Ape Yacht Club, a globally acknowledged non-fungible token collection. In his ruling, Olguin found that the plaintiffs failed the three-part test that requires securities to be an investment of money.
DexCheck, an AI-powered platform offering on-chain and social intelligence for crypto and non-fungible token collectors and traders, also made headlines after appointing Antoine Mingo as its new Head of Creative. Mingo is the original non-fungible token artist behind Pudgy Penguins, one of the globally acknowledged non-fungible token collections in the global NFT market. The company needed Mingo to bring his artistic mastery from Pudgy Penguins NFT and help them craft another standout collection.

The second week of October started so well with EtherRock making the headlines. Data compiled by cryptoslam.io, an on-chain crypto market data aggregator and a non-fungible token explorer, tracking non-fungible token collections from more than 20 blockchain networks, showed that the EtherRock NFT collection exchanged hands for +$380,000.

<h2 id="top-nft-news-3rd-week-of-october-2025">Top NFT News 3rd Week Of October 2025</h2>
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.
