Nasdaq-Listed Company Announces XRP Reserve – But Doubts Remain

US-based healthcare company Welgistics Health has announced plans to use XRP not only as an investment vehicle but also as a payment instrument and profit-generating mechanism. Documents filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by the company indicate that XRP has been integrated into its business model. Ripple advocate and attorney Bill Morgan commented on the SEC document, saying, “This S-1 filing lays out a strategy to integrate XRP not just as an asset but into the company's financial and operational structure.” According to Morgan, Welgistics Health aims to utilize the XRP Ledger infrastructure to process transactions with pharmacy customers and manufacturing and distribution partners in a cost-effective and real-time manner. This initiative is cited as an example of the real-world use of XRP in business-to-business payments.
