A Ukrainian cryptocurrency trader has been found dead in Kyiv following a sharp market downturn, with authorities investigating the case as a possible suicide, according to local police reports.
Konstantin Galich, known online as Kostya Kudo, was discovered inside a Lamborghini Urus in Kyiv’s Obolonskyi district on October 11, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. A firearm registered in his name was recovered at the scene.
In a statement released via the Kyiv Police Department’s Telegram channel, investigators said they are working to determine whether the fatal shot was self-inflicted or the result of foul play.
Police noted that the day before his death, Galich had told relatives he was struggling with financial problems and had sent them a farewell message.
A message posted on Galich’s official Telegram channel confirmed his passing:

Galich was discovered inside a Lamborghini Urus parked on a street in Kyiv, with a firearm registered in his name found nearby.
At 32 years old, Galich was a prominent figure in both the Ukrainian and international crypto communities. He co-founded the Cryptology Key trading academy and was known as an influential crypto strategist and content creator.
His death coincided with a period of intense market volatility, as global cryptocurrency prices tumbled following President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports and new export controls on critical software.
