Ripple-Backed Evernorth Holdings Debut on Nasdaq Under XRPN Stock
Evernorth Holdings completed its merger with Armada Acquisition Corp II and its Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN on October 12. The Ripple-backed XRP treasury company entered public markets holding 473 million XRP.
Investors include Arrington Capital, SBI Group, Ripple, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and GSR. SBI Holdings has about 39.9% of voting shares, with Ripple and affiliates capped at around 9.9%.
Notably, an 80.3% high redemption of shares by Armada public shareholders contributed to massive volatility in the XRPN stock. The stock spiked to a high of $ 53 before the close.
However, XRPN stock closed lower near $16.91 on its first trading day amid lower XRP price action and broader crypto market sentiment.
Today, XRPN stock has dropped more than 5% to $15.60 in premarket trading as the US CPI inflation print came in at 3.7%, higher than the expected 3.6%.
