Crypto investor Konstantin Ganich was found dead in a Lamborghini amid the market crash

Ukrainian crypto blogger and trader Konstantin Ganich, known online as Kostya Kudo, was found dead in his Lamborghini on Friday amid one of the most turbulent weeks for digital assets this year. His death comes as the crypto market reels from steep declines and extreme volatility, reigniting concerns about the mental health strain on traders and influencers deeply entangled in the industry’s highs and lows. Ganich, who built a large following by sharing trading strategies, continued posting market insights even as prices swung sharply.

Railgun Token Soars as Vitalik Calls Privacy a ‘First-Class Priority’ for Ethereum

Ethereum’s renewed focus on user privacy has sent ripples through the crypto world, causing Railgun’s RAIL token to soar to record highs. The rally followed comments from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who called privacy and security “first-class priorities” for the network, coinciding with the launch of the Ethereum Foundation’s new Kohaku toolkit. Designed to help wallets execute private transactions without third-party intermediaries, Kohaku includes features like zero-knowledge–based social recovery tools (ZKemail, ZKpassport) and peer-to-peer transactions that skip traditional RPC nodes. Developers plan to showcase the toolkit at Devconnect ARG in Buenos Aires this November, underscoring Ethereum’s deepening commitment to privacy-first infrastructure.

Polymarket traders accused of ‘insider trading’ Nobel Peace Prize

Traders on the crypto prediction platform Polymarket are under fire for alleged “insider trading” after several large bets correctly anticipated that Venezuelan activist María Corina Machado would win the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize just hours before the official announcement. One trader, known as “6741,” reportedly created an account solely for this market, betting nearly $30,000 on Machado the night before and walking away with more than $53,000 in profit. Another trader, “Dirtycup,” placed $68,000 in late-night wagers and earned about $31,000 when Machado was confirmed as the winner. The well-timed bets sent Machado’s odds surging roughly nine hours ahead of the Nobel Committee’s announcement, fueling speculation online that confidential details may have leaked from Oslo.

BNB Chain project OracleBNB vanishes in $43k rug pull, wipes socials

BNB Chain has suffered another rug pull after the fraudulent project OracleBNB abruptly vanished, draining investor funds and wiping its online presence. Blockchain security firm PeckShield sounded the alarm when OracleBNB’s token plunged more than 95% within hours of a sudden price spike, a classic sign of an exit scam. Soon after, the project’s social media accounts disappeared, leaving investors with losses of about 34 BNB, or roughly $43,000. OracleBNB had promoted itself as a blockchain prediction platform and gained credibility after being followed by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), a connection it allegedly leveraged to attract unsuspecting buyers.
