XRP News Today: Wellgistics Integrates XRP for Treasury Payments and Yield as Institutional Adoption Grows

Wellgistics Health, a Nasdaq-listed company, has disclosed in an SEC filing its plan to integrate Ripple’s XRP cryptocurrency into its financial operations as a treasury asset, payment rail, and income-generating tool. The S-1 registration statement reveals that XRP will serve multiple functions, including facilitating real-time cross-border payments, acting as collateral for loans, and generating yields through staking or lending. The firm also intends to raise capital via equity or debt offerings to expand its XRP holdings, positioning the asset as a strategic component of its balance sheet [1].

The filing highlights a structured approach to leveraging XRP’s utility within the healthcare sector, with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) proposed as a low-cost, high-speed infrastructure for transactions between Wellgistics, pharmacy customers, and vendors. Legal analyst Bill Morgan described the move as “revealing,” emphasizing XRP’s practical business applications beyond speculative use. “This is more than just a company using XRP in its treasury reserve,” he noted, underscoring the asset’s potential to streamline operational efficiency [1].

Wellgistics’ strategy includes using XRP as collateral for financing, a relatively uncommon practice in healthcare. This ties the company’s financial health to crypto market dynamics, exposing it to both the volatility and liquidity benefits of the asset. Additionally, the firm plans to generate income from its XRP reserves, though specific methods—such as staking or lending—remain unspecified. These initiatives aim to address skepticism about XRP’s real-world utility while aligning with broader institutional adoption trends.

XRP’s recent price trajectory reflects mixed market sentiment. After a 126% surge, the token experienced a 14% correction over a week, trading at $3.06 with a daily volume exceeding $10 billion as of July 2025 [1]. Analysts like XForceGlobal suggest the dip is part of a normal cycle, with historical patterns showing similar pullbacks preceding larger gains. The asset’s integration into enterprise operations, however, signals a shift from speculative interest to functional utility.

The move by Wellgistics aligns with a growing trend of public companies allocating XRP to their treasuries. In early 2025, Nasdaq-listed firms including Trident, Webus, and Nature’s Miracle collectively allocated over $1.2 billion to XRP, reflecting confidence in its role in financial infrastructure. This trend is supported by Ripple’s expansion into institutional finance, including the launch of RLUSD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, and applications for a U.S. national bank charter [1].

Critics continue to question XRP’s decentralized nature and utility, but its adoption in regulated frameworks—such as the U.S. Federal Reserve’s ISO 20022 standards and partnerships with firms like Volante Technologies—highlights its potential as a bridge between crypto and traditional finance. The ProShares Ultra XRP ETF, approved by the NYSE in July 2025, and Canada’s 3iQ XRP ETFs further underscore institutional interest [1].

Wellgistics’ strategy hinges on XRP’s limited supply (100 billion tokens, with 50 billion in escrow) and its role in cross-border liquidity solutions. However, long-term success will depend on sustained institutional adoption and regulatory clarity, particularly as the SEC evaluates XRP spot ETF applications. The firm’s approach mirrors broader market dynamics where crypto assets are increasingly viewed as tools for operational efficiency rather than speculative bets [1].
