Odaily reports that Bitcoin mining company GoMining has announced the launch of its payment protocol GoBTC Pay, with SDK and API now available. This will allow merchants to directly integrate Bitcoin payment systems for daily goods and service settlements. This solution is considered a direct competitor to Block (Square)'s payment system. Unlike platforms like Square, which usually convert settlements to fiat currency on the merchant side, GoMining emphasizes that its system settles exclusively in Bitcoin without relying on default fiat conversions. GoMining stated that merchants can use GoBTC Pay to complete transaction settlements on the Bitcoin network, with an average confirmation time of around 12 hours, running based on its Stratum V2 mining protocol. The system's transaction fee is approximately 0.2%, divided proportionally between wallet providers and miners.

BlockBeats News, June 19th - In Waller, Texas, USA, two brothers, Isiah Angelo Garcia and Raymond Christian Garcia, admitted to committing an armed kidnapping. On September 19, 2025, the two broke into a home in Grant, Minnesota, where they used a gun to threaten and tie up the family for over 8 hours. They forced the father to transfer over $8 million from his cryptocurrency account and compelled him to go to a northern cabin to retrieve more storage devices. After the victims' son called the police, the two escaped but were later arrested in the Houston area. Recently, in a Minneapolis federal court, the brothers pleaded guilty to "interference with commerce by means of robbery." Each faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and has agreed to compensate over $8 million. The sentencing date is yet to be determined.
