<p><strong>Ripple-backed Evernorth has completed its SPAC merger, landing on Nasdaq with a reported $473 million in XRP on its balance sheet. The deal marks one of the first times a publicly listed company has used a SPAC vehicle to bring a large XRP treasury to a major U.S. exchange.</strong></p>
<h2 id="evernorth-completes-its-spac-merger-and-reaches-nasdaq">Evernorth completes its SPAC merger and reaches Nasdaq</h2>
<p>The merger is now closed. Evernorth, which has been building toward a Nasdaq debut through a special purpose acquisition company structure, <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2092592/000095010326014952/dp254370_425.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">filed the relevant documents with the SEC</a> ahead of the listing. A SPAC merger lets a private company skip a traditional IPO by merging with a blank-check shell that already trades publicly, collapsing the timeline to a listed equity.

<p>The path to this point had milestones. Shareholders <a href="https://www.theccpress.com/evernorth-merger-vote-passes-473m-xrp-treasury-deal/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">voted to approve the merger</a> as the $473 million XRP treasury deal advanced, and the company had previously <a href="https://www.theccpress.com/evernorth-clears-sec-s-4-hurdle-nasdaq-xrp-treasury-vehicle/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cleared the SEC’s S-4 registration hurdle</a> required for the Nasdaq vehicle to proceed.</p>
<h2 id="why-the-473-million-xrp-holding-matters">Why the $473 million XRP holding matters</h2>
<p>The headline figure is $473 million in XRP. That positions Evernorth as one of the largest public holders of XRP on record, according to <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-backed-evernorth-completes-spac-merger-bringing-473m-xrp-to-nasdaq/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reporting by CoinGape</a>. Ripple, the company behind the XRP Ledger, is identified as a backer of Evernorth, giving the treasury a direct lineage to the network’s original developer.</p>
<p>Evernorth had been <a href="https://www.theccpress.com/ripple-affiliate-evernorth-xrp-nasdaq-debut/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">building its XRP position ahead of the Nasdaq debut</a> and explicitly positioned itself as the <a href="https://www.theccpress.com/evernorth-largest-public-xrp-treasury-473-million-xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">largest public XRP treasury vehicle</a> among listed companies. The completed merger is the culmination of that strategy.</p>
<h2 id="what-the-nasdaq-debut-could-mean-for-xrp-watchers">What the Nasdaq debut could mean for XRP watchers</h2>
<p>A publicly listed XRP treasury gives equity investors indirect exposure to XRP without holding the token directly. That structure mirrors the playbook used by Bitcoin treasury companies, and Evernorth’s arrival on Nasdaq tests whether the same demand exists for XRP.</p>
<p>The company also updated its SEC registration filings in the lead-up to the listing, signaling ongoing regulatory coordination. Whether the market prices the treasury at a premium or discount to its underlying XRP holdings will be one of the first real data points the stock generates.</p>
<p>Will XRP’s first major Nasdaq-listed treasury vehicle trade like a crypto proxy, or will it find its own valuation logic entirely?</p>
