Police reportedly suspect suicide after Konstantin Ganich\u2019s body was found in his car<\/strong><\/p>\n

Konstantin Ganich, also known as Kostya Kudo, a prominent Ukrainian crypto-trader and blogger, has been found dead with a gunshot wound to his head, in what the Kiev authorities are reportedly treating as a suspected suicide.<\/p>\n

Allegedly, Ukrainian officials and “influential people”<\/em> were among his clients, local media have claimed.<\/p>\n

On Friday, crypto markets worldwide suffered one of the largest wipeouts in 2025, following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of new 100% tariffs on Chinese imports.<\/p>\n

Early on Saturday, Kiev police discovered a dead body in a car, with a firearm registered in Ganich’s name, several Ukrainian media outlets reported. While the authorities revealed that the deceased was an “entrepreneur and blogger, whose activities were connected with cryptocurrencies,”<\/em> they stopped short of identifying the person publicly.<\/p>\n

Officials suspected he was a suicide victim and had “told his relatives about his depressed mood due to financial difficulties shortly before his death, and sent them a farewell message,”<\/em> as quoted by Unian.<\/p>\n

Later on Saturday, a post appeared in Ganich’s Telegram channel, confirming that the 32-year-old “had tragically perished.”<\/em><\/p>\n

According to Unian, citing anonymous sources, amid the latest crypto-market crash, Ganich lost up to $30 million of investments he was managing, plus his own personal assets. The media outlet also reported that among his clients were allegedly unnamed Ukrainian officials and “influential people,”<\/em> also that Ganich was involved with Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence.<\/p>\n

However, Unian quoted other anonymous sources as questioning whether it was suicide. Some claimed that Ganich had recently been blackmailed by law enforcement officials.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Trump announced that the US would impose 100% tariffs on Chinese goods beginning November 1, 2025, in addition to the existing duties. He cited Beijing’s “extraordinarily aggressive”<\/em> new export controls of certain strategic minerals that have dual-use in military applications. It triggered a crypto-market crash that saw an estimated $19.33 billion in positions wiped out, according to some analysts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
