Evernorth Amasses $1 Billion in XRP as SPAC Listing Plan Advances

A Nasdaq debut via Armada Acquisition Corp II is targeted for early 2026 pending approvals.

Overview

  • Evernorth accumulated roughly 388–389 million XRP worth about $1 billion, with CryptoQuant estimating it spent about $947 million to complete roughly 95% of its initial target.
  • XRPSCAN data shows Ripple transferred about 338 million XRP to Evernorth wallets, while Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen moved 50 million XRP from his personal holdings, with additional inflows traced from major exchanges.
  • At current prices, the position carries at least $50 million in unrealized gains, and recent reporting links the rapid accumulation to a weekly XRP rise toward about $2.6.
  • The firm aims to list under the ticker XRPN through a merger with Armada Acquisition Corp II, with completion expected in Q1 2026 subject to shareholder and regulatory review.
  • Backers include a $200 million commitment from SBI Holdings and reported participation from Pantera Capital, Kraken, GSR and Ripple-affiliated investors, while Evernorth outlines an active treasury strategy involving lending, liquidity provision and DeFi yield.
