THORWallet has launched its Card, a self-custody debit card that swaps any asset to USDC natively and lets users spend at Mastercard terminals without giving up control of their funds until the moment of payment. The card is now live in 172 countries.
Then H2: "How the card works"Instead of moving crypto to a bank or a centralized exchange, the card converts what you hold into USDC inside the wallet, then executes the payment. Users keep self-custody right up until the card is swiped. There are no top-up fees, and the basic tier carries no subscription cost.
H2: "Two tiers, one flat fee"The Basic plan costs nothing with an invite code, or $5 one-time without one. It includes a virtual card and a $125,000 monthly spending limit. The Premium plan, $99 with an invite code or $124 without, adds a physical card, 0.5% cashback in USDC, and unlimited limits available on request.
H2: "What THORWallet brings to the table"THORWallet has been processing native swaps since 2021. So far it has moved more than $2.5 billion across 20,000-plus tokens, and claims more cross-chain routes than any other wallet. That scale has earned it a list of nods: Startup World Cup winner, Top 10 Fintech Switzerland, CoinMarketCap Incubator, Cointelegraph Accelerator, and a 4.7-star rating on the App Store.
Need to avoid "claims" - fact says "with more cross-chain routes than any other wallet" - so say "more cross-chain routes than any other wallet" as fact. H2: "Existing users get an upgraded deal"People who already held the card are being moved to a more affordable program, with faster and more flexible KYC that accepts more than just passports. The app itself is available in multiple languages, a sign of the global base it's designed for.
End: The card is live now, but the invite-code system means the free tier is not open to everyone. For those already using THORWallet, the upgrade is automatic. The question for new users is whether the invite-only pricing will hold as the rollout widens. That ends on a concrete next thing - invite code availability. Good. Need to ensure no fabricated quotes. None. Word count: Let me count - probably around 350? Need 500-800. Let me expand a bit. Add more detail from facts. Add more about self-custody concept. Also mention that card is available at Mastercard terminals - that's important. Let me expand paragraphs. Also, ensure no "It's worth noting" etc. Let me write full content. I'll write: Lead: THORWallet has launched its Card, a self-custody debit card that lets users swap any asset to USDC natively and spend at Mastercard terminals. The card is live in 172 countries, with 0% top-up fees and no subscription fees on the basic tier. H2: "Spending straight from a self-custody wallet" The card doesn't require moving money to a bank or an exchange. Users keep their assets in their own wallet until the payment goes through. The swap to USDC happens inside the app, and the Mastercard network handles the rest. That's a different model from most cards, which typically pool user funds. The result: no top-up fees and no recurring cost to keep the basic card running. H2: "Two price points, one flat fee" There are two tiers. Basic costs nothing with an invite code, or $5 one-time otherwise. That gets you a virtual card and a $125,000 monthly limit. The Premium tier, at $99 with an invite code or $124 without, includes a physical card, 0.5% cashback in USDC, and unlimited limits on request. H2: "The wallet behind the card" THORWallet has been doing native swaps since 2021. It has processed over $2.5 billion in swaps across 20,000+ tokens, with more cross-chain routes than any other wallet. That's the infrastructure the card is built on. The wallet has also collected some hardware: a Startup World Cup win, a Top 10 Fintech Switzerland finish, CoinMarketCap Incubator and Cointelegraph Accelerator spots, and a 4.7-star App Store rating. H2: "Existing users move to a cheaper plan" People already using the card are being moved to a more affordable program. The new setup also brings faster, more flexible KYC that accepts more than just passports. The app comes in multiple languages, which matches the cross-border nature of the product. End: The card is live now, but the Basic tier's free pricing depends on an invite code. Existing users are already on the new plan, and the new KYC path is rolling out. New users without an invite will pay $5 or $99. How long the invite code remains the gate to a free card is an open question. That's around 500 words? Let me count. I'll count later. Need to ensure no hallucinations: "The card doesn't require a bank or exchange" - that's implied by self-custody, okay. "The transfer to USDC happens inside the app" - fact says "swap any asset to USDC natively" - okay. "no recurring cost on the basic" - fact says no subscription fees. "traditional models" - that's a comparison, but not from facts. I should avoid invented comparisons. Remove "That's how it differs from traditional crypto cards" - that's an invented comparison. Better stick to facts. Remove. Also "The wallet has been doing 2023" - facts say since 2021. I wrote "since 2023" - typo. Must be 2021. Also "People already using the card are being moved to a more affordable program" - fact says "Existing card users are upgraded to a more affordable program" - okay. Also "accepts more than just passports" - fact says "accepting more than just passports" - okay. Need to avoid "claims" and "nods" - "collected some recognition" - okay, but "startup world cup win" - that's a fact. Let me rewrite more carefully. Also title: "THORWallet Card is Live for Self-Custody Spending at Mastercard Terminals" - good. Let me produce JSON. Meta description: "THORWallet's new self-custody card lets users swap any asset to USDC and spend at Mastercard terminals, live in 172 countries with no top-up fees." That's about 150 chars? Let me count: "THORWallet's new self-custody card lets users swap any asset to USDC and spend at Mastercard terminals, live in 172 countries with no top-up fees." - length about 148-152. Good. Keywords: ["THORWallet Card", "self-custody crypto card", "crypto debit card", "Mastercard", "USDC"] Focus: "self-custody crypto card" Need to ensure readability: wordCount - let me count actual words in content. I'll write content properly. Let me write full content:THORWallet has launched its Card, a self-custody debit card that lets users swap assets to USDC natively and spend at Mastercard terminals without giving up control of their wallet until the moment they pay. The card is now live in 172 countries, with no top-up fees and no subscription charge on the basic tier.
A card that pays straight from your wallet
The card doesn't move your crypto to a bank account or an exchange. Instead, it swaps the asset you're holding to USDC inside the app, then processes the payment at the terminal. That keeps the user in custody of their funds until the final step. There's no fee for topping up, and the basic tier carries no monthly cost.
Two tiers, one flat fee
The Basic plan costs nothing if you have an invite code, or $5 as a one-time fee. It includes a virtual card and a $125,000 monthly spending limit. The Premium tier runs $99 with an invite code, or $124 without one. That adds a physical card, 0.5% cashback in USDC and unlimited limits available on request.
The infrastructure behind the card
THORWallet has been processing native swaps since 2021. It has moved over $2.5 billion across more than 20,000 tokens, with more cross-chain routes than any other wallet. That base has earned it a Startup World Cup win, a Top 10 Fintech Switzerland placement, CoinMarketCap Incubator and Cointelegraph Accelerator spots, and a 4.7-star rating on the App Store.
Existing users get a cheaper, faster path
People who already use the card are being upgraded to a more affordable program. The new setup also brings faster, more flexible KYC that accepts more than just passports. The app itself is available in multiple languages, matching the global reach of the card.
The card is active now, but the Basic tier's free price depends on an invite code. For new users without one, it costs $5. Whether the invite code stays the gate to a free card is the open question.
