The XRP Treasury Deal Is Done. Now Comes the Part Where It Trades
After a short delay, Evernorth has crossed the last administrative hurdle before its Nasdaq debut. Closing a SPAC merger is one milestone; trading is another.
Here's where things stand: Evernorth completed its business combination with Armada Acquisition Corp. II on Friday, October 9, two days later than first planned. At closing it holds roughly 473 million XRP and about $300 million in gross cash proceeds, before transaction expenses. Armada shareholders approved the deal on September 30 with about 20.5 million votes for and 1.4 million against. Backers include Ripple, SBI Group, Pantera, Kraken, GSR, and Arrington Capital. Shares are expected to begin trading under XRPN on Monday, October 12. CEO Asheesh Birla says the plan goes beyond passive holding: deploying capital across the XRP ecosystem, including lending, liquidity provision, and DeFi yield, with the goal of growing XRP per share.
Why does this matter? XRPN will give public-market investors equity exposure to a large XRP treasury, and a treasury vehicle's value moves with XRP's price, which sits well below where it traded when the deal was signed last October. How the shares trade relative to the value of the underlying holdings will be an early read on appetite for single-asset treasury companies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Will XRPN's strategy beyond holding tokens prove an advantage, or just add complexity? 🤔
