Wu Shuo learned that some KOLs speculate that the acquisition was made by Improbable co-founder Herman Narula, because he had previously shown interest in acquiring CloneX; billionaire collector Adam Weitsman; Yuga Labs, the parent company of BAYC, because they are building Otherside; as well as other players operating in the shadows, such as those who previously acquired Moonbirds and Meebits. However, Improbable co-founder Herman Narula has denied involvement in the RTFKT acquisition.
