Shareholders of Evernorth Holdings, an XRP treasury stock, voted on a plan to go public without knowing about a bug that could have allowed hackers to inflate XRP supply by trillions. The bug was privately reported and fixed by Ripple before the shareholder vote, but not disclosed until after the merger closed. XRP is trading near $1.35. According to Evernorth, 100 billion XRP was the fixed supply, but the bug could have undermined this claim.
