In a move to challenge Jack Dorsey's Square, GoMining unveiled a software development kit (SDK) and application programming interfaces (API) for its bitcoin payment protocol, GoBTC Pay. This new system allows merchants to build products and services that use the protocol, enabling them to accept bitcoin for everyday purchases. Unlike competitors, GoMining's service completes transactions entirely in bitcoin, without converting to fiat currency by default.
Meanwhile, Microsoft discovered malware that hijacks crypto wallets and spreads through infected USB drives. The malware, dubbed a "crypto clipper," has been targeting Windows users' crypto wallets since February. It propagates by replacing documents on clean USB drives with identically named shortcuts and can silently swap in attacker-controlled wallet addresses.

These developments come as Goldman Sachs cut its year-end gold target by $500, doubting rate cuts. The bank revised its forecast to $4,900, indicating a rise from current levels but less than previously expected. This move may have implications for the crypto market, as some investors view gold and bitcoin as alternative safe-haven assets.
AllUnity also debuted SEKAU, a fully reserved Swedish krona stablecoin, expanding its stablecoin portfolio regulated under the EU's MiCA framework. This launch highlights the growing interest in stablecoins and their potential to facilitate cross-border transactions.

Developments in Bitcoin Payments, Malware, and Market Fluctuations
Here's the synthesized article:
Bitcoin's price slipped below $63,000 amid a broader global risk-asset sell-off, erasing gains tied to optimism over the US-Iran peace deal and pressuring major cryptocurrencies across the board. This downturn follows a week of significant developments in the crypto space, including the introduction of a new bitcoin payment system by GoMining and the discovery of malware targeting crypto wallets.
In a move to challenge Jack Dorsey's Square, GoMining unveiled a software development kit (SDK) and application programming interfaces (API) for its bitcoin payment protocol, GoBTC Pay. This new system allows merchants to build products and services that use the protocol, enabling them to accept bitcoin for everyday purchases. Unlike competitors, GoMining's service completes transactions entirely in bitcoin, without converting to fiat currency by default.
Meanwhile, Microsoft discovered malware that hijacks crypto wallets and spreads through infected USB drives.
