Wellgistics cited the finality time of XRP transactions and reduced transaction costs, which are fractions of a penny, compared to legacy financial architecture like automated clearinghouse (ACH) payments or wire transfers, as reasons for using XRP. Brian Norton, CEO of Wellgistics Health, said in the announcement:“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.”The integration of XRP will reduce cross-border friction and allow transactions between different businesses in the supply chain to settle instantly, in real time, the announcement reads.Blockchain payment rails and cryptocurrencies can significantly reduce international transaction costs, giving rise to business opportunities that were previously out of reach or too expensive to implement and opening up global trade for residents in developing economies.Related: Can XRP price reach $4 in May? Analysts are watching these key levelsLegacy banking system pushes back against crypto innovationCryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) disintermediate banks and financial institutions by providing peer-to-peer transactions over a trustless network of decentralized nodes that are censorship-resistant and give the holder self-sovereignty over their money.Other cryptocurrencies like stablecoins and altcoins still feature a third-party issuer, but have the benefit of trading on blockchain payment rails, through the internet, without markets closing.Banks and legacy financial institutions pushed back against the GENIUS stablecoin bill in March 2025, arguing that stablecoins would erode the banking industry’s market share of financial services and eventually drive out banks altogether.US Senator Elizabeth Warren also fought to include several provisions in the bill that would force any stablecoin firm that wants to do business in the United States to issue their stablecoin with the oversight of an established financial institution.The bill, hailed as a bipartisan success, failed to advance to a floor vote on May 8 after pushback from Democratic senators.Magazine: ZK-proofs are bringing smart contracts to Bitcoin — BitcoinOS and StarknetSource link
