THORWallet and Unblock are expanding non-custodial Mastercard access across 175+ countries through stablecoin and card infrastructure.
THORWallet has partnered with Swiss-regulated provider Unblock to expand global access to non-custodial Mastercard solutions, with the goal of advancing self-custodial finance adoption.
This collaboration enables the issuance of non-custodial cards in over 175 countries, allowing users to leverage digital assets for daily payments within a compliance-focused framework.
THORWallet says it selected Unblock because of the company’s flexibility, regulatory alignment, and global reach.
Unblock is headquartered in Switzerland, operates under a Swiss regulatory framework, and maintains offices in Panama, Medellin, and Miami. This international setup allows the company to support card issuance and delivery in a wide range of global markets. THORWallet says this will help accelerate its international expansion.
This is Unblock’s first non-custodial wallet partnership, which means both teams can build the product from a clean slate instead of adapting THORWallet to an existing custodial model. The companies expect this to provide more flexibility around user experience, card functionality, stablecoin rails, and future premium features.
THORWallet previously introduced a non-custodial Mastercard experience. With Unblock, the company is now expanding that offering into a broader global payment and remittance product.
The companies’ vision is to allow users to hold assets in self-custody, access stablecoin rails, and spend through virtual and physical Mastercard products across supported markets.
For users in emerging markets, freelancers, digital nomads, crypto-native teams, and global businesses, this combination could be especially useful. Stablecoins already provide fast global settlement. Mastercard acceptance adds everyday usability. THORWallet’s non-custodial infrastructure keeps users in control of their assets.
Together, THORWallet and Unblock aim to help turn crypto from something users hold into something they can use daily.
As stablecoin payments and crypto-linked card products draw more attention, THORWallet’s partnership with Unblock expands its push into self-custodial payments, stablecoin rails, and real-world card access.
