Evernorth Will Implement Active Measures to Increase XRP’s Value

Evernorth plans to pursue activities beyond simply holding XRP, with institutional lending and decentralized finance among the strategies outlined for its XRP treasury business.

The company plans to implement active measures to increase XRP’s value, including lending for institutional investors and the use of DeFi as two planned strategies. The information was described as documented and accompanied by 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.

The company could provide a clearer example of how an XRP treasury business intends to generate activity around its holdings if it proceeds with these plans.
