Nevada-based Evernorth has formally filed a Form S-4 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its intended merger with Armada Acquisition Corp The most recent action moves the XRP-focused treasury company closer to going public on the Nasdaq.

The filing presents Evernorth as a regulated corporate vehicle designed to expose XRP on the public market through an actively managed treasury strategy.

The disclosure offers the first glimpse of the company’s operational strategy, including how it plans to distribute, oversee, and disclose its XRP holdings as a publicly traded company.

A number of institutional backers, including Ripple Labs, SBI Holdings, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and Arrington Capital, the sponsor of Armada II, have contributed more than $1 billion in gross proceeds, according to the company.

The prospectus and preliminary proxy statement included in the registration statement are still being reviewed by the SEC and have not yet been deemed effective. The Armada II shareholders’ approval and other customary closing conditions are necessary for the transaction to be completed.

The combined company is anticipated to trade under the ticker “XPRN” on the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to exchange approval.

Arrington Capital founder Michael Arrington commented on the development, saying, “Evernorth continues to emerge as a key gateway for capital markets, underscoring XRP’s rising influence in bridging traditional finance and real-time innovation.”

Evernorth’s ongoing development is indicative of the XRP ecosystem’s broader success and momentum as it expands its use in international finance. Only a few days before Evernorth’s announcement, the SEC released new guidelines that included XRP in a list of assets classified as digital commodities. The agency claims that securities laws only apply to tokenized securities.
