Public Firms Integrate XRP as Treasury Asset

VivoPower and Wellgistics Health have adopted XRP for their treasury operations, announcing these changes on July 21. Both companies are listed on the Nasdaq exchange.

This move marks a pivot in incorporating cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum for corporate treasury strategies.

Firms Invest Millions in XRP Amidst Crypto Strategy Shift

Both VivoPower International and Wellgistics Health recently announced the integration of XRP into their treasury systems. VivoPower raised $121 million led by Prince Abdulaziz Al Saud for XRP purchases. Wellgistics Health secured a $50 million line of credit to infuse XRP into its payments platform. These actions highlight a shift in corporate treasury strategies favoring XRP.

Include potential reductions in transaction costs and faster settlement times due to blockchain efficiencies. Wellgistics’ CEO Brian Norton emphasized, “At Wellgistics Health, we challenge the idea that healthcare has to be tethered to legacy systems, bloated intermediaries, and slow-moving money…Our blockchain-enabled payment system and ledger is just the next logical step in healthcare evolution, allowing us to hardwire speed, liquidity, and transparency into a system that’s long been starved of all three.” VivoPower, with Adam Traidman as advisory board chairman, aims to leverage deep ties with the Ripple ecosystem.

Market reactions were notable, with pre-market surges: VivoPower up by nearly 8%–15%, and Wellgistics up by 8%–10%. The adoption aligns with XRP’s increasing institutional recognition, highlighted by CME Group’s planned XRP futures launch. Broader institutional adoption might strengthen XRP’s position in digital asset markets.
