The digital fashion and crypto communities are grieving the sudden loss of Benoît Pagotto, co-founder of RTFKT Studios, who passed away at 41. Colleagues remember him as a visionary who blended creativity with humility. Philippe Rodriguez, a French tech executive, first shared the news on LinkedIn, praising Pagotto's belief that "beauty could change the world."

RTFKT, acquired by Nike in 2021, became a powerhouse in digital fashion under Pagotto's leadership. Tributes poured in from industry figures like RTFKT co-founder Steven Vasilev and Bored APE Yacht Club's Greg Solano. Former RTFKT CTO Samuel Cardillo offered a candid remembrance, calling Pagotto "a grumpy Parisian cliché, an asshole and genius" who spoke his mind unfiltered.

Pagotto's legacy lives on through RTFKT's pioneering work at the intersection of blockchain, fashion, and culture. His death marks a significant loss for Web3 innovation.

The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
