According to Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla, this effort aims to increase the use of XRP XRP $2.04 , especially as more attention turns to decentralized finance (DeFi).

The planned merger is expected to bring in over $1 billion in funding. Out of this total, $200 million will come from Japan's SBI Holdings, a company with past links to SoftBank.

Evernorth also expects to receive investment support from Kraken $125.52M , Ripple, Pantera Capital, and GSR.

The money raised will be used to buy large amounts of XRP on the open market. Evernorth's goal is to create one of the biggest reserves of XRP in the world.

Once the deal is completed, the new company will be listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol XRPN.
