XRPN shareholders voted on September 30 to take Evernorth Holdings public without knowing about an XRP Ledger bug that could have created trillions of XRP. According to NS3.AI, shareholders faced a September 28 deadline to redeem shares for cash or withdraw from the merger plan.

Ripple shipped an emergency fix on September 25, but an official report disclosed the inflation vulnerability only on October 9, when the merger closed. No one exploited the vulnerability while it was active, and Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla had promoted XRP's 100 billion-token supply as a ceiling that would never change.
