Crypto influencer Konstantin Galish was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot in his Lamborghini in Kyiv.
32-year-old Ukrainian crypto influencer Konstantin Galish was found dead inside his Lamborghini in what authorities described as a possible suicide. He died from a self-inflicted wound and the gun which he possibly used was found beside him. Reports claimed the gun was registered under his name. His suicide has been linked to the major crypto market crash, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Galish apparently lost at least $30 million of investors’ money in the market collapse. Also known as Kostya Kudo, Konstantin Galish was known for running a platform called Cryptology Key and he founded Cryptology Key Trading Academy. He was reported to have donated millions to support Ukraine’s military efforts and humanitarian aid during the ongoing conflict.Some reports claimed that Galish spoke about his financial loss before his suicide. He reportedly sent a farewell note to his loved ones. On Friday, October 10, the cryptocurrency market experienced a historic crash, losing approximately $19 billion in value within hours. This sharp decline was primarily triggered by US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on all Chinese tech exports and stringent export controls on critical software, escalating the ongoing US-China trade tensions. Bitcoin (BTC) plummeted by 8.4%, falling to $104,782, Ethereum (ETH) dropped by 6.7%, outperforming many altcoins. Binance Coin (BNB) remained relatively stable, trading above $1,130, likely due to its role within the Binance ecosystem. Other major cryptocurrencies, including Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA), experienced declines ranging from 15% to 30%.Though there is no foul play suspected in Galish’s death, authorities are investigating possible extortion links and business disputes. The crypto world mourned the sudden death of Galish and reminded traders that markets recover but people do not.
