Footballer Turns Financier: XRP Healthcare Hops Onto TSX Stage! šš¼š
In a plot twist worthy of a Benny Hill sketch, Kain Roomesāformer footballer and part-time model (weāre not judging)āhas decided that kicking a ball around is passĆ©. Instead, heās teamed up with his dad, Laban Roomes, a veteran of gold-plating empire and āDragonsā Denā fame, to take their healthcare startup public on Canadaās TSX Venture Exchange. Fancy that, eh?
The pair announced their grand plan on May 17, just days after sealing a letter of intent with AAJ Capital 3 Corp, because nothing says “trust” like a name with a numeral and a letter, right? XRP Healthcare aims to revolutionize African healthcareāa continent where medicines are sometimes scarcer than a good punchlineāusing cryptocurrency, AI, and what you might call āreal-worldā services (shockingly, they exist outside the Metaverse).
This Dubai-based enterprise runs a digital health platform and owns an expanding network of pharmacies in Uganda. They use the XRP Ledger to make sure drugs donāt go walkabout and to keep tabs on patient progressābecause even healthcare needs a little blockchain romance now and then.
Thanks, @Cointelegraph, for giving our escapade the nod! From dreaming big to actually doing, weāre just trying to make healthcare less of a headache.

Laban, whoās had more business ventures than heās had hot dinners, mentions proudly, āIn the West, pharmacies are as common as daylight. In Uganda, not so much.ā His plan? āStart local, think global, and skip the metaverse for once.ā No hoverboards or virtual realityājust real meds with real impact.
The whole operation is valued at a mere 16 million Canadian dollarsāroughly $11.5 million USD, which is enough to buy a small island or, at the very least, a decent yacht. Kain, ever the pragmatist, says their primary goal isnāt a quick buck but āgrowth, transparency, and good old-fashioned regulation.ā He insists itās about making sure the model works in Uganda before taking over the continentāpiece of cake, right?
Now, Kainās crypto journey started in 2018 when he flogged a Rolex for some Bitcoināabout Ā£7,000 worth (or $8,820). That little adventure turned into a fortuneāĀ£100,000 ($133,498)āand helped him shake off his debts. And letās not forget, heās played for QPR, Tottenham, Arsenal youth teams, then strutted his stuff modeling for Nike and Adidas. His crypto success inspired Dad and lad to dive headlong into the blockchain bubbleābecause what could go wrong?
Laban, the seasoned gold-plater, has already dipped into the spotlight on āDragonsā Denā with his Goldgenie venture. Now, he’s channeling that entrepreneurial spirit into healthcareābecause when life gives you gold, make healthcare apps. They also rolled out a crypto wallet for managing digital tokens and snagged $380,000 in fundingāenough to make a few headlines. Next stop? Rwanda and Kenya, because Africa needs more excitement than a cricket match.
