Evernorth shareholders approve $1 billion XRP treasury deal, clearing path to Nasdaq debut

What happened

Shareholders of Armada Acquisition Corp. II approved the Evernorth merger. Evernorth, an XRP treasury company, expects to hold about 473 million XRP, and the approval clears a path to a Nasdaq debut.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

This creates a publicly traded company whose main asset is XRP, giving ordinary investors a stock-market route to XRP exposure without buying the token directly. Its 473 million XRP holdings tie the company's value to XRP's price.

Analyst inference

The approval moves XRP further into traditional equity markets, where crypto-focused treasury companies have drawn investor attention. A Nasdaq listing could widen XRP's investor base, though the company's shares would likely track XRP's price closely.

Analyst inference
