In Loving Memory: Konstantin “Kostya Kudo” Galich
The cryptocurrency and trading education community is mourning the loss of Konstantin Galich, also known by his alias Kostya Kudo, a 32-year-old entrepreneur, educator, and influencer, who was found dead on October 11, 2025, in Kyiv. Authorities discovered his body in a Lamborghini Urus, with a gunshot wound to the head. A registered firearm was found at the scene.
Galich was co-founder of Cryptology Key, a trading academy known for offering market analysis, trading strategy education, and insights into digital assets. He had amassed a significant following on platforms such as Telegram, YouTube, and Instagram, where his discussions often covered volatility, risk management, and the psychology of trading.
In the days before his death, Galich reportedly expressed emotional distress, citing financial difficulties; he also sent what are described as farewell messages to family members. Law enforcement in Kyiv has opened an investigation. While preliminary findings indicate a possible suicide, authorities have not ruled out foul play.
His passing comes amid a turbulent period in global cryptocurrency markets, marked by sharp losses that affected many investors. Galich’s death has triggered a wider discussion about mental health, the pressures of high-risk finance, and the responsibilities of influencers in volatile spaces.
To those who knew him, Galich was more than his online persona. He was an ambitious and insightful educator whose work inspired many who were trying to make sense of complex financial systems. He believed in the potential of education to empower people and often shared not just gains but the risks and emotional toll of trading. His energy, curiosity, and willingness to engage deeply with his followers are aspects of his legacy that will be sorely missed.
Though the cause of his death remains under official inquiry, his influence will live on through the students he taught, the conversations he sparked, and the lessons borne out of his life. To his family, friends, and followers: may you find peace, and may his memory continue to guide, caution, and inspire.
