Ripple-backed XRP treasury company Evernorth Holdings has lined up $30 million in new financing as it prepares to go public through a merger with Armada Acquisition Corp. II (NASDAQ:XRPN).
The deal would bring Evernorth onto Nasdaq under the XRPN ticker, giving public-market investors exposure to a company built around accumulating XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) and deploying it across the XRP ecosystem.
Evernorth said the new financing may be used to buy more XRP and fund other ecosystem investments. The $30 million arrives when the merger closes, which the company expects in the fourth quarter.
Evernorth and an affiliate held 473.1 million XRP at the end of 2025. At around $1.38 per token, $30 million would buy roughly another 21.7 million XRP, or less than 5% of that existing position.
Evernorth disclosed Thursday that the financing consists of $30 million of 4% convertible notes due in 2031, purchased by NH Investment & Securities as trustee for a South Korean investment fund.
After one year, the notes become convertible at an initial price of about $10.20 per share.
Armada shareholders are scheduled to vote on the merger Sept. 30.
Evernorth amended the merger terms in August after XRP fell from the $2.36 price used when the deal was signed. The revised structure adjusts the share count at closing based on XRP’s value, which Evernorth said should give each share a larger interest in the treasury if the token remains below that original price.
The company also bought 84.4 million XRP in November 2025 at an average price of about $2.54 per token.
Polymarket traders give XRP a 31% chance of falling to $1 again this year, against 6% for a touch of $3.
From around $1.38, a move to $1 would represent a decline of roughly 28%, while reaching $3 would require a gain of about 117%.
The market also puts the chance of XRP reaching $2.60 at 11%, roughly the level needed to exceed the $2.54 average Evernorth paid for its 84.4 million-token cash purchase.
The next major catalyst comes Sept. 30, when Armada shareholders vote on the Evernorth merger. Approval would clear a key hurdle toward the XRPN listing and release the new financing.
