A Ukrainian crypto investor and influencer, Konstantin Galich, often known as Kostya Kudo, died on October 11, 2025. The incident took place in Kyiv, Ukraine. He was found dead inside his Lamborghini in the Obolonskyi district. Konstantin was 32 years old.
Who was Konstantin Galich?
He is most known by his online handle ‘Kostya Kudo’ and was a prominent figure in Ukraine’s crypto circle. His well-researched and often effective market predictions and trading tutorials gained him a huge fanbase. His motivational content related to blockchain investments was also a stepping stone in gaining followers. He was described as an ambitious, outspoken, and passionate individual about digital finance.
As per local outlet Nashaniva, Galich also served as the director of the Association of Traders of Ukraine.
How Konstantin Died?
The cause of his death is reported to be a self-inflicted gunshot to the head. The registered firearm in his name was found in his car. There were no signs of foul play. The investigators said that Galich had sent a farewell message to his close ones shortly before his death. The message conveyed emotional distress and repentance over recent financial losses. The police are primarily seeing the case as a suicide, but the investigations from a different angle remain open.
The tragic death of Galich happened just hours after the global cryptocurrency market meltdown. Due to which he lost around $30 million of investors’ money. Also, as U.S. President Trump imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, it shook investors across global markets.
When high-profile policy shifts trigger global panic, investors in volatile markets like crypto bear the immediate impact. Galich’s death is not just a personal tragedy; it reflects the immense psychological pressure in speculative finance.
