Evernorth Holdings has officially filed its Form S-4 with the U.S. SEC on March 18, 2026, bringing its plans into the public eye. The company is now moving closer to a Nasdaq listing under the ticker XRPN.
This filing is part of a merger with Armada Acquisition Corp. II, a SPAC deal that helps companies go public faster. If everything goes through, Evernorth could become one of the biggest publicly traded companies built around XRP.
CEO Asheesh Birla made it clear that the idea is simple, finance is changing, and digital assets like XRP are going to play a much bigger role in how money moves around the world.
“We believe global finance is entering a new era with digital assets playing a larger role in how capital is held, managed, and deployed.”
Betting High on XRP
The scale of this plan is massive. Evernorth is aiming to raise more than $1 billion through this deal. Ripple has already backed the move by contributing over 126 million XRP tokens, while other investors have added more than $214 million in cash along with extra XRP.
On top of that, Evernorth has been quietly building its own XRP reserves. It now holds a large amount of the token, putting it among the biggest institutional players in the XRP space.
But this isn’t just about holding coins and waiting. The company plans to actively use its XRP. That includes lending it out, providing liquidity, and taking part in decentralized finance. It also plans to run validators on the XRP Ledger and use RLUSD to connect with XRP-based financial activity.
Perfect Timing With Regulation
Timing is quite important here. On the same day as the filing, U.S. regulators classified XRP as a digital commodity instead of a security.
“We always knew XRP wasn’t a security, and now the SEC has confirmed it is a digital commodity. Grateful to the Crypto Task Force for delivering the clarity that markets, investors, and innovators have long deserved.” — Stuart Alderoty
This clears up years of uncertainty. For large investors, this kind of clarity matters a lot. It makes it easier for them to step in without worrying about legal risks.
Making XRP Accessible to Big Investors
A big problem in crypto has always been access. Many large institutions simply can’t hold crypto directly due to rules and restrictions. Evernorth solves that problem. Listing on Nasdaq gives these investors a simple way to gain exposure to XRP through the stock market. No wallets, no custody issues.
What also makes this model different is that it’s not just tracking XRP’s price like an ETF. The company plans to grow its XRP holdings over time, which could increase value per share if done right.
XRP Network Is Getting Busier
At the same time, activity on the XRP Ledger is picking up. The network now has over 7.7 million wallets, the highest ever. Active users are rising, and daily transactions are nearing 3 million.
There’s also growth in tokenized assets, with the value jumping from $111 million to $1.14 billion this year.
