Photo Credit: Unsplash/ Mohd Azrin Investors with portfolios worth at least RUB 100 million will be legible for qualification Highlights Qualified investors could invest in settlement-based securities Derivative financial instruments will also be offered Presently, the crypto sector is not comprehensively regulated in Russia Advertisement The Central Bank of Russia and the country's Finance Ministry are planning to launch an experimental crypto exchange in the coming days. The step is part of Russia's roadmap of gradually legalising cryptocurrencies. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov was addressing a ministry meeting this week, when he shed light on the plans, according to reports from local media. The development follows Russia's support for the creation of a blockchain-based payments platform to be used exclusively by members of the BRICS group.Due to the volatility and risks associated with cryptocurrencies, the Central Bank of Russia proposed the testing crypto activities under an experimental legal regime (ELR). Earlier in March, it said it would conduct these crypto transaction trials with “highly qualified investors”.Investors with portfolios worth at least RUB 100 million (roughly Rs. 10 crore) will be considered as suitable to test the crypto exchange. Individuals whose income exceeded RUB 50 million (roughly Rs. 5 crore) will also be considered as qualified investors, according to an Interfax report.Qualified investors will be allowed to invest in settlement-based securities, derivative financial instruments, and digital financial assets via the upcoming platform. These investments will reportedly exclude cryptocurrency delivery to investors but link returns to its value.The experiment is said to be at least six months away from being launched.Commenting on the development, Bitget COO Vugar Usi Zade told Gadgets 360 that Russia's move could signify a shift towards greater institutional involvement and the legitimisation of digital assets in international trade.“By limiting participation to ‘super-qualified' entities likely institutional players and state-affiliated firms, the Kremlin is creating a controlled sandbox. This mirrors Singapore's early licensed exchange model but with a distinctly geopolitical twist: facilitating trade with BRICS allies amid sanctions,” Zade said. “As geopolitical dynamics evolve, such developments warrant close attention from investors and policymakers alike.”The crypto sector currently lacks comprehensive regulations in Russia. The Central Bank of Russia does not recognise crypto assets as a mode of payment, but citizens are permitted to purchase, hold, and trade crypto.In recent years, Russia has prioritised discussions about crypto on official levels. In February this year, for instance, Russia's Energy Ministry started discussions on mandating registrations for firms providing crypto mining equipment. The country has also been using Bitcoin to facilitate foreign trade. For the latest tech news and reviews, follow Gadgets 360 on X, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads and Google News.

Sony revealed the release date, new story details and new gameplay for Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei in a surprise announcement on Wednesday. The action-adventure title, a follow-up to 2020's Ghost of Tsushima, is coming exclusively to PlayStation 5 on October 2. The second trailer for the game details the protagonist Atsu's quest for revenge against six masked outlaws who killed her family and left her for dead, and shows off stunning visuals, new weapons and more.Ghost of Yotei Release Date Announced With New TrailerThe new trailer, titled “The Onryō's List,” features a mix of gameplay and in-game cinematics and charts Atsu's path of vengeance. A gang of outlaws, known as the Yotei Six, killed her family and left her dying, pinned to a burning tree. But Atsu survived, left home and trained to fight and hunt. Sixteen years later, she's back in Ezo with a list of six names — The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon and Lord Saito.The premise is a familiar revenge story, seen in films like Kill Bill, or the recently released Assassin's Creed Shadows. The game will track Atsu as she hunts down the Yotei Six one by one and strikes off their names from her list. On her way, she'll also explore the Ezo region surrounding Mount Yotei and forge new allies.The trailer also showed a new spear weapon for Atsu, stunning environments and a new gameplay mechanic that lets players step into Atsu's past.“In Ghost of Yōtei, we've built upon and evolved the way you explore the open world, offering even more freedom and variety than in Ghost of Tsushima,” Sucker Punch said in a PlayStation Blog post announcing the release date and new details for the game. “You'll choose which leads to follow as you pick which Yōtei Six member you want to hunt down first.”In addition to the main quest, Atsu can also hunt down bounties, seek out weapon sensei to learn new skills and explore the wilderness. Some of the side activities from Ghost of Tsushima will return, Sucker Punch said — perhaps the Haiku writing? Atsu will also be able to put down a campfire anywhere in the open world and rest, much like Red Dead Redemption 2.Ghost of Yotei will come in standard, digital deluxe and collector's editionsPhoto Credit: Sony/ Sucker PunchGhost of Yotei Pre-Order Details, EditionsFinally, Sucker Punch also revealed pre-order details for Ghost of Yotei.

Bitcoin surpassed Big Tech firms like Google, Amazon, and Meta to become the fifth-largest asset by market cap on Wednesday. The valuation of the oldest and most expensive crypto asset climbed to $1.86 trillion (roughly Rs. 1,58,87,400 crore) on Wednesday. This takes Bitcoin's valuation significantly higher than that of silver as well. Bitcoin is behind Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia which are three of the top five assets in the world, according to data by CompanyMarketCap.A Quick Glance at the NumbersAt the time of writing, Google's valuation stands at $1.859 trillion (roughly Rs. 1,58,80,690 crore), marginally lower than Bitcoin's and subject to fluctuations. Gold remains the top-most asset, with a market cap of $22.4 6 trillion (roughly Rs. 19,19,00,869 crore). Apple, which is in second position, is valued at $3 trillion (roughly Rs. 2,56,24,035 crore).Bitcoin has been through a few rough patches over the past couple of weeks. The asset rebounded after six straight weeks of losses on Wednesday to trade at $93,455 (roughly Rs. 79.8 lakh). Due to the ongoing tariff uncertainty, Bitcoin's price previously sank to $76,000 (roughly Rs. 65.3 lakh).At its peak, Bitcoin's price crossed the $108,000 (roughly Rs. 92 lakh) mark in the middle of December 2024.Silver and Amazon, which are at sixth and seventh positions on the CompanyMarketCap Index, are presently valued at $1.855 trillion (roughly Rs. 1,58,46,170 crore) and $1.837 trillion (roughly Rs. 1,56,92,388 crore), respectively.In conversation with Gadgets 360, CoinDCX co-founder Sumit Gupta said this development reflects the growing institutional conviction and a maturing policy environment around crypto assets like Bitcoin. Others from the crypto space lauded the development of seeing value come out of code.“This alignment of market performance and policy clarity is laying the groundwork for a resilient, integrated financial ecosystem—one where digital assets are not speculative outliers, but foundational pillars of the global economy,” Gupta said. With India's discussion paper on crypto still due, Gupta said, the country stands at a pivotal crossroads in the digital asset economy.

Photo Credit: SpaceX Falcon 9 launches Phoenix 1, marking Europe’s first reentry capsule test Highlights Europe’s first reentry capsule launched on Bandwagon-3 Falcon 9 carried multiple international payloads Phoenix 1 aims to splash down after one orbit Advertisement A Falcon 9 rocket soared into space from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on April 21 at 8:48 p.m. EDT (0048 GMT, April 22), carrying multiple payloads on SpaceX's latest rideshare mission, Bandwagon-3. Among the diverse cargo onboard was Phoenix 1, a European-built reentry capsule developed by the German company Atmos Space Cargo. History will be made here in European aerospace with this launch, as Phoenix 1 becomes the first capsule from Europe intending to return from space and splash down on Earth after just one orbit, barely 1,200 miles offshore of Brazil.Phoenix 1 Debuts as Europe's First Private Reentry Capsule on SpaceX Bandwagon-3 FlightAccording to Atmos Space Cargo, this mission is the first-ever atmospheric reentry attempt of a European private entity. Phoenix 1 is meant to test out essential technologies, including the company's inflatable heat shield needed to return high-value cargo from space safely, the company noted. “Our mission is to revolutionise space logistics by enabling groundbreaking advancements in microgravity research, in-orbit manufacturing, defence applications, and life sciences,” says the firm's website. The successful reentry and splashdown will support future commercial applications across these sectors.Phoenix 1 shared the ride with several other payloads, including 425Sat-3, operated by South Korea's Agency for Defence Development, and Tomorrow-S7, a weather satellite from the meteorological technology company Tomorrow Companies Inc. These collaborative launches are part of SpaceX's growing commitment to enabling diverse and cost-effective access to low Earth orbits via its ridesharing programs. The Bandwagon missions, which began in April 2024 and continued with a second flight in December that year, operate alongside the long-established Transporter series, which has completed 13 missions since 2021.Phoenix 1 Marks Shift Toward Scalable Reentry Missions in European Space LogisticsWhile the Transporter program is known for launching a large number of satellites—including a record-breaking 143 on a single flight in January 2021—the Bandwagon series focuses on smaller, more flexible ridesharing configurations. The dispatch of Phoenix 1 on Bandwagon 3 is the latest sign of a trend toward greater mission flexibility to develop and operate bespoke space technologies in support of different kinds of space exploration and logistics, and yet another indication of commercial innovation extending the boundaries of the possible in space.A successful test flight of Phoenix 1 would have significant ramifications for European space companies, being positioned as proof of the Phoenix program—demonstrating mission-critical capabilities regarding return flights and retrofitting, while being the seed for a scalable reaping capability for research institutions and commercial entities.

Photo Credit: Geology (2025) Ancient Greenland rocks found in Iceland’s cliffs provide rare evidence of iceberg. Highlights Newly discovered Greenland rocks in Iceland link to ancient glacial act Scientists used zircon crystal dating to trace rock origins to Greenlan The study, published in April 2025, deepens understanding of historical Advertisement A study published in April 2025 provides new insight into one of the mysterious historical climate change periods known as LALIA (the Late Antique Ice Age). This period is known to last from 536 to 660 AD. The trio of scientists, namely, Christopher Spencer, Ross Mitchell and Thomas Gernon, published in a journal describing the analysis of misplaced Greenland rocks found lodged in the cliffs of Iceland, offering direct evidence of iceberg activity connected to this period of an ice age.Discovery of the LALIAThe study was published in the journal Geology. As per Phys.org, the earlier research has depicted that the Earth's northern hemisphere had undergone a chilly spell beginning around 540 AD because of the eruption of huge volcanoes, which led to the rise in debris in the atmosphere, leading to the darkening of the skies. A few historians speculated that the sudden cold weather led the Goths to attack the Romans in Europe, as they moved toward the south, warmer regions led to the fall of the Roman Empire.Understanding the Misplaced RocksThe researchers studied some cliffs on the western coast when they noticed that the rocks actually looked out of place. They collected a few rocks to study in the lab. The team crushed the rocks in the lab to study their remnants under a microscope. They pulled the zircon crystals from the centre of these rocks.In their lab, the team crushed the rocks and looked at their remnants under a microscope, allowing them to pull out zircon crystals from their centres. These crystals can be used as a time capsule. After studying their age and composition, the scientists could trace the original place of these rocks across Greenland. This predicts that these rocks were moved by someone more than 1500 years ago.The scientists studied the rocks' age placed at the LALIA, depicting that the rocks were moved after breaking the ice from the large glaciers of Greenland that formed as per the colder scenarios formed during that period.Scope of the StudyThe research stands as a major step forward in understanding the Earth's climate in the past. These rocks have given clear proof of increased glacial activity at the time of LALIA, indicating the outcomes of modern and future climatic changes.

By mapping the cosmos with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)—the brightest explosions in the universe—astronomers found that this structure is even bigger than previously estimated. Surprisingly, portions of it also lie significantly closer to Earth than previously believed, challenging fundamental assumptions about how the universe is structured and evolves.This cosmic structure was first observed in 2014 — a dense galaxy forming a filament of a supercluster.A new study now extends the researchers' previous work, but with a wider GRB sample. Hakkila and Zsolt Bagoly, authors of the study, have refined the measurements. They detected a number of relatively nearby GRBs in their sample. The evidence also shows the Great Wall is larger and wider than previously predicted.Gamma-Ray Bursts Expose Structure Too Large for Current ModelsAccording to a Space.com report, the GRBs figure prominently in the early discovery and more recent growth of the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall. These explosive outbursts — from either collapsing massive stars or colliding neutron stars — produce powerful jets that can be spotted over cosmological distances. Hakkila told the publication that GRBs act as another bright beacon for identifying galaxies, even those too faint to see directly. Because of their brightness, scientists can follow matter throughout the universe more distinctly than ever.The Great Wall, over 10 billion light-years long, challenges the cosmological principle of uniform universe appearance. Its massive size indicates gaps in current theories and implies that the universe's formation time was insufficient for such massive structures.THESEUS May Reveal Full Scale of Cosmic Great WallNASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Burst observations reveal 542 GRB events, but more data is needed to fully understand the Great Wall's scope due to misidentified origins and sparse sampling. Hakkila points toward the upcoming ESA mission THESEUS — the Transient High Energy Sources and Early Universe Surveyor — as the next major leap.The mission aims to dramatically expand the catalogue of known GRBs, particularly at extreme distances. “It could finally provide the observational leverage needed to map the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall to its full extent,” Hakkila told Space.com, emphasising its role in refining our understanding of the universe's large-scale structure.

Motorola's upcoming smartphones could reportedly come with artificial intelligence (AI) apps from Perplexity and Microsoft out-of-the-box. As per the report, a Google executive revealed the information during a testimony that was part of an ongoing antitrust trial in the US. The Mountain View-based tech giant is accused of illegally monopolising the online search market, and it is said that the scope of the case also extends to the company's AI products, such as Gemini. Notably, the Lenovo-owned brand is hosting an event on April 24, where the company is expected to launch the Motorola Razr 60 series and the Edge 60 Pro.Motorola Could Offer Multiple AI Apps With the Upcoming Razr 60 SeriesBloomberg reports that Google VP for Global Partnerships, Platforms & Devices, Peter Fitzgerald, testified on Tuesday that upcoming devices from Motorola will also feature AI apps from Perplexity and Microsoft. The executive reportedly also added that Samsung is in talks with several AI companies to add their apps to its devices.The executive made the statement while testifying in the US Justice Department's antitrust case against Google. The antitrust case was filed in January 2023 over allegations that the search engine giant was illegally monopolising the online search space. A key part of the case also involved Google's financial deal with Apple to make its search engine the default option on iPhone devices.Currently, the Justice Department is said to have asked Judge Amit Mehta to find a resolution to break the monopoly in the online search market. The case's scope is said to extend to its AI products, such as Gemini. The Google executive's statements were reportedly made to highlight that it does not prohibit device manufacturers from installing other voice assistants or generative AI apps. The company reportedly shared letters with the court clarifying this, highlighting the lack of any such clauses in contracts with manufacturers. This means that the upcoming Motorola Razr 60 series and the Motorola Edge 60 Pro could potentially be pre-installed with multiple AI apps. Last week, a report claimed that Perplexity has agreed to a deal with Motorola to add its AI-powered virtual assistant to the smartphone maker's devices. However, it is unclear whether the Lenovo-owned brand can make any of these apps the default AI assistant or not.

Nintendo has suggested a new Mario game will make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 at some point. In an interview this month, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser asked eager fans to “stay tuned” when asked about the next Mario title. Many expected the Switch 2 to launch with a new Mario game, possibly a sequel to Super Mario Odyssey. But Nintendo revealed Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza as first-party games coming to the Switch 2.Nintendo Hints at New Mario GameBowser, in an interview with CNN earlier this month, suggested the next Mario game could arrive on Switch 2 sooner rather than later.“Stay tuned,” Bowser said. “You know, we have a long, long catalog, and a long list of (intellectual property) that I'm sure will make its way to the platform.”Nintendo has not revealed its first-party slate for the Switch 2 beyond the titles confirmed for the console in 2025. During the Switch 2-focussed Nintendo Direct stream on April 2, the company revealed some first-party titles in addition to third-party games coming to the new platform.Only two first-party games are confirmed to be launch titles that will be available on June 5 when the Switch 2 is released. These include open-world racing title Mario Kart World and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, an interactive guide for the new console.Beyond that, 3D action-platformer Donkey Kong Bananza arrives July 17, while Kirby Air Riders, Drag X Drive and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment are confirmed for launch in 2025. The revealed first-party slate likely means there will be no mainline Mario or The Legend of Zelda release this year.Nintendo will, however, release a host of Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrades for existing and announced Switch 1 games like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Pokémon Legends: Z-A — all in 2025, with the two acclaimed 3D Zelda titles from the original Switch coming on launch day.Assassin's Creed Shadows could launch on the Switch 2Photo Credit: UbisoftAssassin's Creed Shadows Could Launch on Switch 2While heavy first-party heavy hitters like Mario and Zelda are missing, third-party developers have announced a robust lineup of games coming to the Switch 2 this year and beyond. This includes FromSoftware's new Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods and popular games like Hogwarts Legacy, Split Fiction, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, Star Wars Outlaws and many more.Recently, listed information on the PEGI ratings website suggested that Assassin's Creed Shadows could be coming to Switch 2, as well. As per a VGC report, Switch 2 appeared as a supported platform for the title as seen on the website's most searched games section.The listing since seems to have been changed and Assassin's Creed Shadows' page on the PEGI website now only shows PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X as supported platforms. However, the earlier listing suggests Ubisoft's newest action-adventure title will reportedly launch on the Switch 2. Do note, that while Ubisoft has confirmed that Star Wars Outlaws will launch on Switch 2 on September 4, the company has not yet announced a Switch 2 port for the newest Assassin's Creed title.The Nintendo Switch 2 was fully unveiled on April 2 and was set to be available for pre-orders in the US from April 9. The widespread reciprocal trade tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump, however, led Nintendo to push the pre-order date to April 24. The hybrid console will be available from June 5.

Photo Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy S24 FE was launched in India in September 2024 Highlights Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is likely to debut in the second half of this year Samsung also also tipped to use the Exynos 2400e on the Galaxy Z Flip FE The new model could be more affordable than the standard Galaxy S25 Advertisement Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is said to be in development as the successor to the Galaxy S24 FE that was launched last year. The South Korean brand has not confirmed its existence yet, the next 'Fan Edition' smartphone is expected to arrive in by the end of Q3 2025 or at the start of the fourth quarter. A new report suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE might actually debut with an Exynos chipset used on last year's model. The upcoming Galaxy S25 FE phone is expected to arrive as a toned-down version of the Samsung Galaxy S25.Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Might Feature an Exynos 2400e ProcessorAndroid Authority reports that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, codenamed R13, is now in the works. The latest Galaxy S24 FE handset was referred to as R12, while the Galaxy S23 FE was associated with R11. Internal code seen by the publication indicates that the upcoming device will arrive with the same chip as the Galaxy S24 FE. Based on the codename — siop_r13s_s5e9945 — the Galaxy S25 FE will reportedly use the S5e9945 processor, which is the part number of the Samsung Exynos 2400/2400e processor. If this information is accurate, the Galaxy S25 FE would feature the same Exynos processor as last year's model.Samsung equipped the Exynos 2400e processor in last year's Galaxy S24 FE. It seems like Samsung will skip the chipset upgrade entirely this year by using the same processor in the new model. The brand is rumoured to use the same Exynos 2400e on the Galaxy Z Flip FE.This also suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will feature a chip that is noticeably less powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400.It is even said to fall short of the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC in terms of performance. The handset is likely to debut in the second half of this year, as an affordable version of the standard Samsung Galaxy S25.Meanwhile, the report also claims that the Indian variant of the Galaxy M36 5G would come with the Exynos 1380 processor. The same chipset powers the existing Galaxy M35 5G.The Galaxy S24 FE arrived in September 2024 with a price tag of Rs. 59,999 for the 8GB + 128GB option. It has a 6.7-inch full-HD+ (1,080×2,340 pixels) Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It packs 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of onboard storage. The handset boasts a triple rear camera unit led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 10-megapixel selfie shooter.

Apple is already working on a new iPhone 17e model that is expected to succeed the recently launched iPhone 16e, according to a tipster. After the discontinuation of the iPhone SE (2022), the iPhone 16e is now the entry-level smartphone in the brand's lineup. The iPhone 16e may have not fully impressed us in our review, but recent reports suggest it has outsold the iPhone SE (2022) model after it was launched. Meanwhile, details about the purported iPhone 17e continue to surface online, and the latest leak indicates that Apple will introduce the successor to the iPhone 16e as early as next year.According to a post on Weibo by tipster Fixed Focus Digital (translated from Chinese), Apple will have a yearly release schedule for its new ‘e' series model. The post claims that trial production for the iPhone 17e is currently on Apple's agenda.The tipster has also claimed that the remodelling of the iPhone 16e production lines is already underway. Meanwhile, the post reveals that the iPhone 17e will arrive next year, as Apple's second entry-level model without SE branding.Apple's iPhone 16e is currently priced at Rs. 59,900 in India and the phone is available in two colour options. Apple took a different path with its newly branded smartphone, adding a number to its name and discontinuing the SE lineup with the iPhone SE (2022, which also led to speculation about a yearly release cycle and the iPhone 17e.The iPhone 16e is the first iPhone to be equipped with Apple's new C1 modem. Unlike older SE models, the iPhone 16e uses an A18 SoC, which is also present in the latest iPhone 16 models. In our review, we pointed out that the phone is more future-proof compared to competing older iPhone models that can still be purchased in India, like the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, both of which retail from Rs. 69,900 and 79,900 respectively, and offer more features like Dynamic Island, MagSafe support and faster charging, but lack support for Apple Intelligence features.Affiliate links may be automatically generated - see our ethics statement for details.

Bitcoin price hit a six-week high on Wednesday. The price of the world's most widely used digital asset rose by six percent to reach $93,455 (roughly Rs. 79.8 lakh) on international exchanges, as per CoinMarketCap. On Indian exchanges, Bitcoin's price jumped by nearly seven percent over the past 24 hours. Data by CoinSwitch and CoinDCX show BTC trading at $93,680 (roughly Rs. 80 lakh). Most altcoins also rose in value on Wednesday, alongside Bitcoin.“This rally is largely driven by increased institutional buying, with Bitcoin spot ETFs seeing net inflows reach a multi-month high of over $700 million (roughly Rs. 5,984 crore), totalling over $1 billion (roughly Rs. 8,549 crore) in inflows this week alone,” Alankar Saxena, Co-founder and CTO of Mudrex told Gadgets 360. “Another bullish metric is the decline in exchange inflows, suggesting reduced selling pressure, helping build momentum. The Fear and Greed Index now stands at ‘Neutral', indicating that retail investors are re-entering the markets.”Ether rose by 14 percent on international exchanges in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $1,800 (roughly Rs. 1.53 lakh) on global platforms. On Indian exchanges, ETH was priced at $1,815 (roughly Rs. 1.55 lakh) on Wednesday.“ETH continues to trade in a ‘Descending Channel' and has corrected by almost 65 percent over the past four months. The bulls, however, defended the key support level of $1,350 (roughly Rs. 1.15 lakh). The asset has strong resistance at $1,750 (roughly Rs. 1.49 lakh).

The broader crypto market has responded positively to the development. Adding to the bullish sentiment is the appointment of Paul Atkins as SEC Chairman. His return signals a shift toward a more constructive regulatory approach, with several enforcement actions already rolled back under his leadership. However, caution is advised as volatility may still resurface,” Himanshu Maradiya, Founder and Chairman, CIFDAQ crypto exchange told Gadgets 360.The prices of Binance Coin, Leo, Stellar, Status, and Ardor dropped on Wednesday.“Remarks from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and former President Trump suggesting a de-escalation in the US-China trade dispute have improved the broader risk environment, lifting both traditional equities and digital assets.
