THORWallet Partners with Unblock to Expand Global Non-Custodial Mastercard Access

THORWallet announced a strategic partnership with Swiss-regulated payment infrastructure provider Unblock to expand non-custodial Mastercard card issuance and stablecoin payment rails globally. The deal—Unblock’s first non-custodial wallet partnership—aims to scale virtual and physical card distribution across 175+ countries via offices in Switzerland, Panama, Medellín and Miami. By combining self-custody, cross-chain swaps and stablecoin settlement with Mastercard acceptance, the partnership accelerates the Web3 neobank narrative, improves real-world crypto utility and broadens on/off‑ramp access in emerging markets. For markets, this increases the practical use cases for on‑chain assets and stablecoins, supporting broader adoption and potentially boosting demand for major crypto assets (including Bitcoin) as payment and remittance rails mature.
