Evernorth clears shareholder vote and prepares Nasdaq debut of XRP treasury on Oct 8

Evernorth Holdings received shareholder approval for its merger with Armada Acquisition Corp. II, clearing the final hurdle before the combined entity begins trading on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN on October 8, 2026. The company said it will hold roughly 473 million XRP after closing, and the transaction is expected to generate about $300 million in gross cash proceeds. The merger is slated to close on October 7, 2026, subject to customary conditions and Nasdaq acceptance.

The listing will give investors a regulated way to gain exposure to XRP through equity rather than direct token ownership, according to the company’s filing. The $300 million cash infusion and active‑management plan for the XRP treasury could affect the company’s balance sheet and future earnings potential, as noted by Evernorth’s management.
