Evernorth Completes SPAC Merger, Bringing 473M XRP and $300M Cash to Nasdaq
XRPN sits 84% above its 52-week low of $10.1 on elevated volume (5.3× avg).
Summary
Evernorth Holdings completed its business combination with Armada Acquisition Corp. II on October 9, bringing approximately 473 million XRP and $300 million in cash proceeds into the public market. Evernode's common stock is scheduled to begin trading on Nasdaq on Oct. 12 under ticker XRPN. This follows shareholder approval on September 30 and clears the final hurdle for the Ripple-backed XRP treasury company to become publicly listed. Investors included Arrington Capital, SBI Group, Ripple, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and GSR, and Armada Acquisition Corp. II is sponsored by the Arrington XRP Capital Fund. The company plans to deploy capital into financial infrastructure to increase XRP holdings per share, with the goal of building an active XRP treasury supporting ecosystem growth and public market standards. Key investment areas include tokenized assets, blockchain lending markets, payments and settlement infrastructure, and the company plans to provide capital as institutions expand blockchain finance participation. The merger had been amended in August to tie sponsor forfeitures and PIPE share counts to XRP price movements, reflecting the volatility of the underlying asset. The listing will provide public market access to one of the largest corporate holders of XRP.
