Overview

• Multiple local reports say the 32-year-old, known online as Kostya Kudo, was found dead in a Lamborghini in Kyiv’s Obolon district, and his Telegram channel acknowledged his death with an investigation underway.
• Galish was a crypto blogger and co-founder of the Cryptology Key trading academy with sizable followings on YouTube and Instagram.
• Posts on social platforms, including Binance Square, allege suicide and claim he lost about $30 million of investor funds, but these assertions have not been independently verified.
• The news followed a sharp selloff in cryptocurrencies after President Donald Trump announced an additional 100% tariff on certain imports from China.
• Analysts quoted in the coverage attributed declines in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other tokens to weaker sentiment tied to the tariff announcement, and no link between the market move and Galish’s death has been established.
