According to Bloomberg, at the close of September, investors in Tiger Global Management's largest venture fund faced an 18% decrease in value as the firm reduced valuations for several companies in its portfolio. 

Additionally, Tiger Global decreased the value of its investments in Bored Ape Yacht Club, a series of nonfungible tokens, by 69%, and in the NFT marketplace, OpenSea by a striking 94%, according to the sources familiar with the matter.
