Konstantin Galish, a well-known Ukrainian crypto investor and influencer also known as Kostya Kudo, was found dead in his Lamborghini in Kyiv during one of the most significant cryptocurrency market crashes of 2025. The authorities discovered him with a gunshot wound to the head, treating the case as a possible suicide, though a full investigation is ongoing. A firearm registered in his name was found beside him in the car.

Galish’s passing occurred just after the global crypto market suffered a massive downturn. Within a single day, over $19 billion in leveraged positions were wiped out as values of major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, plunged sharply. Many believe that the financial turmoil triggered by this crash contributed to Galish’s depression and emotional distress in the period leading up to his death.

As the co-founder of Cryptology Key Trading Academy, Galish was widely respected for his insights on cryptocurrency trading and had built a large following by providing advice on digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and NFTs. His sudden loss has deeply impacted the crypto community and sparked renewed conversations about the significant mental health pressures that traders and influencers can face in such a volatile market.

Galish reportedly sent a farewell message to his family, mentioning his struggles with financial difficulties and depression just before his death. The tragedy has highlighted the emotional toll that extreme financial losses and market instability can have, reminding everyone about the importance of mental health, especially in high-risk investment environments.
