Wellgistics Health, a publicly traded healthcare infrastructure firm, has announced plans to accept payments in XRP and incorporate the token into its corporate treasury. This strategy aligns the company with a growing trend among U.S. public companies adopting digital assets. Based in Tampa, Wellgistics aims to construct a blockchain-based payment infrastructure that links manufacturers directly to pharmacies, thereby enhancing cost efficiency, transaction speed, and financial transparency within the healthcare network. The firm is using a $50 million equity line of credit to support its XRP initiatives. However, the exact allocation of these funds towards the payments network and XRP treasury remains unclear. The push for blockchain-powered payment platforms comes as more companies explore the incorporation of cryptocurrencies into their operations, motivated by favorable regulatory developments. CEO Brian Norton emphasized the importance of speed, data clarity, and efficient platforms over traditional infrastructures in the evolving healthcare landscape.
