Evernorth, an XRP treasury company, said on August 27 that the SEC declared its registration statement effective, clearing a key hurdle toward its planned merger with Armada Acquisition Corp. II. Shareholders of Armada II will vote on the deal on September 30, 2026, and the combined firm would then trade on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN, subject to that vote and other closing conditions.
SEC Clears Registration Statement
Evernorth said the SEC had declared its registration statement effective on August 27, moving its proposed merger with Armada Acquisition Corp. II closer to completion. The step puts the XRP treasury company one step closer to a Nasdaq listing, though shareholders still need to approve the deal before it can close.
The company announced that Armada Acquisition Corp. II shareholders will vote on the proposed business combination on September 30, 2026. Closing remains subject to that vote and other customary conditions.
CEO Points to On-Chain Finance
Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla said the company plans to enter public markets as blockchain utility grows, adding that it expects institutional finance to increasingly be built on-chain. According to CryptoPotato: "Evernorth is designed to accelerate XRP's role in that work," he noted in the announcement.
The effective registration statement follows a process that started publicly in March, when Evernorth filed its Form S-4 in connection with its planned combination with Armada II, a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by Arrington Capital. As CryptoPotato reported at the time, the March filing provided the first detailed look at Evernorth's plan to give public-market investors exposure to XRP through an actively managed treasury.
Over $1 Billion Raised Since March Filing
The company said then that it had raised more than $1 billion in gross proceeds from institutional and strategic investors, including Ripple, SBI Holdings, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and Arrington Capital.
The latest filing moves the transaction beyond the SEC review stage, but it does not mean the merger has already closed. If shareholders approve the deal and the remaining conditions are satisfied, the combined firm is expected to become publicly traded on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN, subject to exchange approval.
