Crypto Influencer Found Dead Amid Market Turmoil Triggered by Tariff Policies
Ukrainian crypto influencer Konstantin Galish, known online as Kostya Kudo, was discovered dead in his Lamborghini hours after a severe market crash. The sell-off was triggered by President Trump's abrupt 100% tariff on Chinese "critical software" imports, sparking panic among investors.
Galish, co-founder of trading academy Cryptology Key, was a prominent figure in the digital asset space. His death underscores the high-stakes volatility of crypto markets, where geopolitical shifts can erase fortunes overnight. The sector remains acutely sensitive to policy changes as institutional adoption grows.
Friday's tariff announcement sent shockwaves through risk assets. While no specific coins were mentioned in connection to the incident, the broader market downturn affected all major cryptocurrencies. Exchanges globally saw frantic trading activity as portfolios were liquidated.
