BlockBeats news, on March 19, according to The Block, Evernorth, a crypto enterprise backed by Ripple, announced the public filing of a Form S-4 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to advance its business combination with Armada Acquisition Corp. II, a SPAC sponsored by Arrington Capital. Upon completion of the merger, Evernorth aims to become a Nasdaq-listed XRP treasury company under the ticker symbol XRPN.
Evernorth plans to raise over $1 billion through this transaction, primarily to purchase XRP on public markets and establish a globally leading institutional-grade XRP treasury. Unlike passive crypto funds or ETPs, Evernorth aims to achieve long-term growth in XRP holdings per share through lending, liquidity provision, and DeFi yield strategies. The company also plans to operate XRP validation nodes and integrate Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin into the DeFi ecosystem.
Investors include Japan’s SBI Holdings (committed $200 million), Ripple, Pantera Capital, Kraken, GSR, and Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen. Executives such as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse will serve as strategic advisors.
