Overview

  • Wellgistics began processing low-cost, real-time transactions on the XRP Ledger across its network of over 6,000 pharmacies and 150 manufacturers to accelerate settlements.
  • The company secured a $50 million equity line with LDA Capital to fund ongoing acquisitions of XRP and expand its blockchain payment infrastructure.
  • In its July 15 SEC S-1 filing, Wellgistics outlined plans to hold XRP as a treasury reserve and use the digital asset as collateral for debt and equity financing.

  • The rollout has coincided with a rally in XRP prices and heightened scrutiny of crypto in healthcare, drawing praise from blockchain advocates and caution from former SEC officials.
