Brand Engagement Network Inc. Announces The Generally Available (GA) Release Of Its iSKYE Platform To Enable Businesses To Quickly Deploy And Scale Customized Ai Solutions With Enterprise Grade Security, Flexibility And Control

General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) is facing a lawsuit filed by customers in Georgia for allegedly collecting and selling their driving information without consent.
What Happened: In the filing, plaintiffs said they had a &#8220;reasonable expectation of privacy&#8221; when driving on the road. Plaintiffs also claim GM has violated the Federal Wiretap Act, the Stored Communications Act, and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; all of which the company denies.
GM states that ‘driving a vehicle, which necessarily involves conduct that takes place on public roads, cannot form the basis for any privacy-based claims,' <a href="https://www.motor1.com/news/757240/general-motors-sells-data-public-roads/">noted</a> Motor1 on Monday.
‘Driving data includes vehicle location, driving routes, braking events, and speed, all of which occur on "public thoroughfares,"' GM states in their filing to dismiss the case.
Besides GM, the defendants also include data analytics companies NexisLexis and Verisk Analytics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRSK#NASDAQ">VRSK</a>). Both companies also maintain similar positions to GM in their court filings to dismiss the case.
Why It Matters: GM has had previous run-ins with privacy laws, as the FTC had banned the company and its unit, OnStar, from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43051842/ftc-bans-general-motors-from-sharing-driver-data-following-allegations-that-it-sold-sensitive-consumer-information">disclosing driver information</a> to consumer reporting agencies in January.
"GM monitored and sold people&#8217;s precise geolocation data and driver behavior information, sometimes as often as every three seconds,&#8221; said FTC Chair Lina M Khan at the time of the announcement.
In the midst of this filing in Georgia, GM faces uncertainty as Donald Trump's auto tariffs continue to cast a doubt over the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44806252/trump-tariffs-could-put-ford-gm-at-high-risk-of-negative-ratings-report">company's ratings</a>. The tariffs could potentially cost GM and other auto manufacturers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44756759/new-research-shows-donald-trumps-25-tariffs-could-cost-auto-companies-108billion-report">billions of dollars</a>.
Elsewhere, GM had announced it will continue to manufacture EVs at its Ramos Azirpe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44916042/general-motors-has-no-plans-to-move-ev-production-away-from-mexico-despite-tariff-uncertainty">production facility in Mexico</a>, amid uncertainty about auto tariffs.

Compass Pathways Announced That All Participants Have Completed Dosing In Part A Of The COMP005 Phase 3 Trial For Treatment-Resistant Depression; The Company Is On Track To Disclose Top-line 6-week Primary Endpoint Results In Late June

Every year, billions of tax-free healthcare dollars go unspent in the U.S., and retailers have set their eyes on them. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), intended to offset medical costs, are becoming a major sales target for health, wellness, and beauty brands.
What Happened: Retailers like Sephora, Ulta Beauty Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>), and Target Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) are coming up with tools to assist shoppers in using FSA/HSA funds on eligible items like SPF products, acne treatments, and wellness tech, according to <a href="https://www.retaildive.com/news/fsa-hsa-healthcare-shopper-awareness-beauty-retail-wellness/745339/">a</a> Retail Dive report.
Online resources, shopping guides, and in-store campaigns are leading the charge. "We launched cash register takeovers and out-of-home placements featuring top eligible items," said Lisa Tamburello, VP at Ulta Beauty.

Why It Matters: In Numerator analyst Shawn Paustian's estimation, almost 10%—worth billions—is forfeited each year. Many consumers find it difficult to recognize eligible products. "When presented with a list of eligible items, consumers could only correctly identify less than half," Paustian said.
Retailers identify immense potential in educating account holders, particularly among white-collar professionals who make up most of this market. "FSA/HSA spending in beauty can redefine how consumers think about their routines," said Laura Unger of Sephora.

Retailers Target Billions In Unused FSA/HSA Funds With Wellness And Beauty Push

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-spot-bitcoin-etfs">Digital asset investment products</a> recorded modest net inflows of $6 million last week, reflecting an overall mixed investor sentiment, according to the latest CoinShares report.
What Happened: The <a href="https://blog.coinshares.com/volume-230-digital-asset-fund-flows-weekly-report-c905b0aeed15">report</a> highlights regional divergences and asset-specific trends, as investors responded to stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data and shifting macro conditions.
"Sentiment remains highly volatile, with substantial intra-week outflows triggered by unexpectedly strong U.S. retail sales," the CoinShares team noted. 
Specifically, U.S.-based products saw $71 million in outflows, while Europe and Canada showed more positive momentum. Switzerland led with $43.7 million in inflows, followed by Germany with $22.3 million and Canada with $9.4 million.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remained the focal point for most investors, although sentiment was divided. 
Intra-week movements fluctuated significantly before settling with minor net outflows of $6 million. 
Short Bitcoin products also saw their seventh consecutive week of outflows, dropping by $1.2 million, bringing total seven-week outflows to $36 million, or 40% of all assets under management for those products.

Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) continued its persistent streak of underperformance, posting outflows of $26.7 million last week. 
This brings Ethereum's eight-week outflow total to $772 million, underscoring sustained investor caution. 
Despite this, Ethereum still ranks second in year-to-date inflows, with $215 million, suggesting some institutional resilience.
In contrast, XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) defied broader trends with inflows of $37.7 million, making it the third-best performing asset this year in terms of net inflows. 
XRP has now accumulated $214 million in inflows for 2025, reflecting growing confidence from investors amid the asset's regulatory clarity and expanding institutional interest.
What&#8217;s Next: CoinShares' data reflects how digital asset flows remain closely tied to macroeconomic indicators and regional regulatory sentiment.
The report emphasizes that while investor behavior was cautious, especially in the U.S., optimism remains strong in selected European markets and for select altcoins.

The <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/02/43838655/iphone-17-pro-may-finally-get-wireless-reverse-charging-apple-reportedly-testing-power-sharing-with-airpods-apple-watch-and-more">iPhone 17 series</a>, the latest smartphone line-up from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), is reportedly facing significant stock shortages, and CEO Tim Cook is worried about it.
What Happened: The scarcity of Low CTE fiberglass cloth is reportedly causing a strain on the stock of the iPhone 17 series. This material is a vital component in the manufacturing of SoC chips, RF packaging substrates, camera modules, and batteries, as per a <a href="https://wallstreetcn-com.translate.goog/articles/3745568?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en&amp;_x_tr_pto=wapp">report</a> by Wall Street News.
The low CTE fiberglass cloth plays a crucial role in smartphones, especially in core electronic components that demand high precision and efficient heat dissipation. It helps align the thermal expansion properties of the chip and the substrate, minimizing mechanical stress from temperature fluctuations and enhancing the device's stability and longevity.
A supply chain source cited by Wall Street News revealed that Cook, Apple&#8217;s CEO, is pushing suppliers daily to rectify the shortage. The source stated, &#8220;Cook is so anxious that he is pushing suppliers every day.&#8221;
As per MacRumors, the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43802471/apples-leaked-renders-show-iphone-17-air-and-pro-getting-unique-camera-islands-but-base-models-looks-may-disappoint-some">iPhone 17</a> models are expected to be launched in September.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.

Why It Matters: The<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44348175/apples-iphone-17-air-to-usher-in-new-era-of-slimmer-portless-models"> iPhone 17 </a>series represents more than just another flagship release for Apple—it marks the beginning of a new chapter for the brand. With a revamped design and noticeably larger camera islands on the Pro models, reminiscent of the upcoming Google Pixel 9, the lineup brings both style and innovation. Apple is also set to debut a new addition: the iPhone 17 Air, a sleeker, slimmer model aimed at users who value aesthetics.
Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo stated in early March that there are three anticipated features of the iPhone 17 Air that could lead to better-than-expected battery life: a high-density battery, Apple's energy-efficient C1 modem, and the absence of an Ultra Wide camera, which allows for extra internal space to accommodate a larger battery, reported MacRumors. 
However, the limited availability of low-CTE fiberglass isn't Apple's only challenge. The company is also concerned about the possible effects of tariffs. While Apple currently enjoys a temporary exemption, relocating production from China in time to sidestep these tariffs appears improbable. Previously, Tim Cook had mentioned that he prefers iPhone manufacturing in China due to the availability of highly skilled labor. 
Even if manufacturing is shifted elsewhere, other countries would still be subject to tariffs, though potentially at lower rates. As a result, Apple may have to either absorb the additional costs or raise the prices of its phones.
