XRP ETF Hype Meets a Reality Check as Inflows Break Near $1.40

Spot XRP ETFs in the U.S. saw a modest outflow for the week ending May 1, snapping a three-week streak of inflows and putting the latest bullish XRP story to the test. The funds lost around $35,210, reversing part of the $82.88 million that flowed in over the previous three weeks, according to SoSoValue data reported by BeInCrypto. German finance sites, meanwhile, circulated new adoption and price narratives for the token. This shift is significant: ETFs now serve as XRP’s primary entry point into standard brokerage platforms. A spot ETF like Franklin’s tracks the actual token, offering investors listed shares tied to XRP’s price—no crypto wallets or private keys required. In its filing, Franklin calls the XRP ETF a passive

OnePlus Summer Sale Starts May 8: Full List Of OnePlus 15, OnePlus 13R And Pad 4 Deals

OnePlus kicks off its Summer Sale in India on May 8, starting at midnight. Expect to see discounts, exchange bonuses, bank deals, and no-cost EMI plans across phones, tablets, and earbuds—offers apply at oneplus.in, OnePlus Experience Stores, Amazon, Flipkart, and more. Timing is key here. In the first quarter, India’s smartphone shipments slid 3% from a year ago—marking the worst quarterly performance in six years. Higher prices, mounting costs, and slackening demand all weighed on sales. Counterpoint’s Prachir Singh called it a “clear affordability squeeze.” Tarun Pathak, the firm’s research director, sees a “double-digit decline” coming in Q2.

Ather Energy Q4 Results: Rizta Bet Delivers ₹1,000-Crore Quarter, But Costs Loom

Ather Energy cut its March-quarter loss by over 50%, powered by strong demand for its Rizta family scooter. Deliveries hit a record, pushing revenue above ₹1,000 crore for the first time. The Bengaluru electric two-wheeler firm reported a loss of around ₹1 billion for the quarter—sharply lower than the ₹2.34 billion loss in the same period last year, according to Reuters. The stakes are high for Ather, which is betting that ramping up production will pare back losses, not just boost sales, in India’s tightly contested electric scooter sector. By 15:52 IST, with local equity markets already closed, Ather shares had climbed 0.41% for the session to ₹937.80, after bouncing from a low of ₹906.80 to touch a 52-week peak

Vodafone Idea Stock Jumps Again After AGR Relief: Citi’s Rs 14 Call Meets Debt Reality

Vodafone Idea stock rallied further Tuesday, buoyed by the telecom department’s move to trim its statutory dues bill—a break that could help the struggling carrier line up new bank funding and invest in its network. Shares settled at Rs 10.80 on the NSE, a 2.66% gain, after hitting an intraday high of Rs 11.32. The AGR relief puts the focus squarely on execution instead of just staying afloat. Vodafone Idea is pushing to lock in a Rs 25,000-crore term loan, plus an additional Rs 10,000 crore in short-term working capital, seeking funds from a group of lenders led by SBI. The goal: underpin its three-year turnaround effort.

Cognizant Layoffs: Up To 15,000 Jobs May Be At Risk As India Braces For AI Shake-Up

Cognizant Technology Solutions, which trades on the Nasdaq, is considering slashing between 12,000 and 15,000 jobs globally, according to a Moneycontrol report on Tuesday that cited several sources. Most of the layoffs could hit India. As of publication, the company hadn’t replied to Moneycontrol’s requests for comment. The potential cuts highlight a bigger shift underway in India’s tech services sector, where artificial intelligence—software that automates coding, testing, and support—is starting to reshape pricing and staffing models. Cognizant has rolled out Project Leap, its restructuring plan designed to speed up the transition to an AI-first way of operating. Clients, though, are still holding back on discretionary IT spending.

UK Summer Flights Could Be Cut As Jet Fuel Shortage Fears Hit Holiday Season

Britain is drafting temporary measures to allow airlines to drop or merge summer flights ahead of time, a move designed to save jet fuel and sidestep last-minute chaos as the holiday rush approaches. According to the Department for Transport, UK carriers aren't dealing with any current supply issues. This comes as the summer rush approaches its peak, with fuel supply chains feeling the strain following the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz—a vital corridor for oil and gas. The UK relies on imports for roughly 65% of its jet fuel, much of which comes from the Middle East, according to The Guardian.

BYD’s Reported VW Dresden Plant Move Hits a Hard Denial — And a Bigger EV Question

Volkswagen is denying rumors that China’s BYD is eyeing a takeover of its Gläserne Manufaktur facility in Dresden, dismissing fresh speculation around the landmark German plant. “The company firmly rejects” such claims, a Volkswagen spokesperson told BILD, after local media picked up a CarNewsChina story suggesting talks were underway. Timing is key here. The Dresden plant stopped making cars on Dec. 16, 2025, closing the book on 24 years of production. Volkswagen announced plans for an innovation campus with TU Dresden to take over part of the property, while VW itself is hanging onto the building for its sales and marketing operations.

IBM Db2 Genius Hub Gets Google Vertex AI And Intel Gaudi Support As Enterprise AI Moves Closer To Production

IBM on Monday announced that its Db2 Genius Hub adds support for Google Vertex AI and Intel Gaudi AI accelerators, opening up more options for customers to run database AI inference both on-premises and in the cloud. Inference refers to the phase when an AI model generates answers, recommendations, or other outputs from data. The shift comes as major firms keep working to move generative AI out of pilot territory and into actual production—where issues like latency, infrastructure spend, and data location can make or break scaling plans. IBM pitched this Db2 update as a flexibility play, aiming to give customers options around cloud, hardware, and data-sovereignty requirements.
