Evernorth plans to pursue activities beyond simply holding XRP, with institutional lending and decentralized finance among the strategies outlined for its XRP treasury business.
Crypto researcher SMQKE pointed to these plans in an X post, citing an SBI Group presentation that describes Evernorth’s intended approach to managing its XRP holdings.
SMQKE wrote that “Evernorth will implement active measures to increase XRP’s value,” before identifying lending for institutional investors and the use of DeFi as two planned strategies. The researcher described the information as documented and attached an SBI Group image detailing the company’s planned operations.
The SBI Group presentation states that Evernorth has executed a PIPE investment involving a U.S. company scheduled to engage in the XRP treasury business alongside U.S. Ripple Inc. and other participants. It also says Evernorth plans to operate an XRP Ledger validator, while a major auditing firm will independently audit its financial reporting.
SBI Group Invests $200 Million
The presentation also details the capital Evernorth raised. SBI Group invested $200 million in cash, while Evernorth raised more than $1 billion in total through a combination of spot XRP and cash.
The presentation identifies Ripple, Chris Larsen, institutional investors, and crypto asset exchanges as participants in the fundraising. It also states that Evernorth plans to increase the value of its assets through active measures rather than merely holding XRP.
For that strategy, the document specifically identifies lending to institutional investors and leveraging decentralized finance. These activities would give Evernorth additional ways to deploy its XRP holdings while maintaining its focus on the XRP treasury model.
The presentation further states that Evernorth plans to list on the U.S. Nasdaq market under the ticker XRPN through a business combination with Armada Acquisition Corp. II, a special purpose acquisition company.
Evernorth Sets Out Nasdaq Timeline
In the comments under SMQKE’s post, XRPBROJJEDAN provided a specific timeline for the planned Nasdaq debut. The commenter said Evernorth expects to close its SPAC transaction on October 7 and begin trading under the XRPN ticker on October 8.
Duke offered a sharply different assessment. The commenter criticized what they described as years of exaggerated XRP predictions and claimed that influencers have benefited from repeated bullish narratives surrounding the asset. Duke also questioned whether some commentators present speculative expectations as established outcomes.
SMQKE’s post, however, focused on the operational plans that SBI Group detailed in its presentation, particularly Evernorth’s intention to use XRP in lending and DeFi activities rather than limit its strategy to passive ownership. If Evernorth proceeds with these plans, the company could provide a clearer example of how an XRP treasury business intends to generate activity around its holdings.
