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.
