An XRP Treasury Company Is One Vote Away from Nasdaq: What Happens if Evernorth Lists as XRPN?
Evernorth, backed by Ripple and others, plans to list on Nasdaq as XRPN, holding 473 million XRP. The company's $242 million trust could buy only 0.26% of XRP's circulating supply. XRP is trading near $1.50, down 59% from its July 2025 high. The listing may not significantly impact XRP's price, as most tokens are insider contributions, and Evernorth's cash reserves are limited.
