Coatue’s stake, previously valued at $120 million, was estimated to be worth just $13 million at the end of the second quarter, The Information said, citing documents it said it had seen.
The valuation indicates that OpenSea is currently worth about $1.4 billion, compared to $13.3 billion early last year, the report said.
