Wellgistics Health (NASDAQ: WGRX), a prominent health-tech company, is revolutionising the way companies utilize XRP and XRPL. As lawyer Bill Morgan noted, the pharmaceutical giant has filed an S-1 form with the SEC, revealing a multifaceted approach to leveraging XRP in its operations.
Wellgistics Health Integrates XRP and XRPL
In a recent X post, Ripple attorney Bill Morgan shared insights into Wellgistics Health’s venture into the XRPL. The healthcare technology company has filed an S-1 form with the SEC, revealing its prospectus, which includes a few “forward-looking statements.”
According to the S-1 filing, Wellgistics Health has ambitious plans for XRP, going beyond just holding it as a treasury reserve. The company intends to harness the power of the XRPL to implement a payment solution that enables low-cost, real-time transactions between WH, its pharmacy customers, manufacturers, and vendor partners. Morgan addresses this as a tangible example of the XRPL’s practical business utility.
This development aligns with the growing adoption of XRP and XRP Ledger among institutions. As CoinGape reported, Nature’s Miracle has adopted Ripple’s coin, becoming one of the latest publicly traded companies to embrace the token.
Furthermore, the healthcare giant plans to issue equity or debt securities to raise capital specifically for the purchase of additional tokens. This demonstrates the company’s commitment to accumulating the digital asset. The company also intends to leverage its existing XRP holdings as collateral for future capital-raising transactions, providing flexibility in its financial strategy.
Additionally, WH aims to generate income streams from its Ripple assets, further diversifying its financial approach. Morgan added, “In short using XRP as a reserve asset, to earn income, to use it as collateral and use it for payments all in one. XRP will be working hard for WH.”
In addition, the XRPL has also become a prominent player as global companies are increasingly integrating it for tokenization and beyond. For instance, Mercado Bitcoin and Ripple have reinforced their collaboration to tokenize $200 million in real-world assets on the XRP Ledger.
WH’s $50M Funding for XRP
Despite highlighting the potential benefits of XRP, the platform also acknowledges significant risks associated with its XRP holding strategy. Notably, the company mentions the ongoing Ripple lawsuit and regulatory uncertainty surrounding XRP, which may impact its value. Additionally, they reference criticism that the token has no utility, a claim that contrasts with the company’s own plans to leverage Ripple’s coin for payments and other purposes.
In May, the company announced its decision to adopt XRP to streamline transactions. CEO Brian Norton stated,
I believe that the future winners in healthcare will not be the companies with the biggest buildings, they will be those with the fastest rails, cleanest data, and most efficient platforms. We are betting on infrastructure — not inertia.
Wellgistics secured a $50 million equity line with LDA Capital, a private investment group experienced in crypto-backed funding. This flexible arrangement allows Wellgistics to draw funds as needed, issuing shares in exchange for capital. With this financing, the company is poised to rapidly expand its Ripple-powered payment solution across a vast network of over 6,000 independent pharmacies and 150 contracted manufacturers nationwide.
