XRP Goes Prescription-Strength: 6,000 US Pharmacies to Accept Crypto Payments in $50M Healthcare Play

Ripple’s XRP vaults into mainstream healthcare as a new deal puts the digital asset behind the counter at major pharmacy chains. Finally—a use case that doesn’t involve speculative trading or dodgy offshore exchanges.
The $50 million partnership will see XRP integrated into payment systems at 6,000 US pharmacies. Patients can now settle bills in crypto while picking up their beta-blockers—because nothing says ’financial innovation’ like pairing your Lipitor with volatile digital assets.
This marks one of crypto’s biggest real-world healthcare deployments. Watch legacy payment processors scramble as blockchain bypasses their 3% transaction fees. The only side effect? A potential headache for accountants during tax season.
